I was able to sit down with God of War writer and director Cory Balrog at E3 and talk about what it means for Kratos to be a dad, how having Atreus as a son will make the traditionally one-note character grow, and how Atreus impacts the upcoming God of War game.

German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said the "extremely exciting" war game showed the need for EU governments to be more aware of the impact of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure in the EU.

The quarrel — which led Riyadh to suspend diplomatic relations, expel the Canadian ambassador, stop Saudia direct flights, cancel the scholarships of nearly 15,85033 Saudi students at Canadian universities and more — seems better suited to some imaginatively bizarre two-day war game hosted by an earnest think tank at the request of an intelligence service.

Here's a glimpse at the dynamic between Kratos and Atreus seen in the recently released God of War gameplay trailer: Atreus is old enough to fight in God of War and Balrog said he's competent in combat — never a burden — which is crucial to making the latest God of War feel like an actual God of War game.

That was a huge embarrassment for the Japanese military and the public writ large: Though its forces regularly engaged in military exercises with the US — exercises like that war game Yoshitomi described — when it came time to actually stand and fight alongside their close ally in a real war, Japan's forces had to sit it out.

The war game my team designed and ran for 14 high school and college-aged young women from across the country in July was an example of this, as we sought to familiarize young women with military concepts and capabilities to lower their barriers to entering the field of national security, and maybe even pique their interest in war gaming.

In this context, there are two courses of action held for consideration: suspending these large-scale joint American-South Korean military war-game exercises throughout the peninsula, which have only acted as catalytic threats to North Korea's national interests and sphere of influence, and sending Bill Richardson and Colin Powell to Pyongyang to negotiate with Kim a stand-down arrangement involving his thermonuclear program.

During the 2013 exercise series to test the concepts behind the draft CONPLAN 5015, a team of non-lethal planners in South Korea achieved a first-ever in a high intensity war game, according to the documents: They combined imagery and signals intelligence, cyber and electronic warfare, as well as elite special operations forces to find and "capture" a mock "high value individual" — in other words, a North Korean leader.

My colleague Jennifer Williams puts it well: If we were really about to launch a massive, bloody war with North Korea that could potentially kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians in South Korea and elsewhere — one war game convened by the Atlantic magazine back in 2005 predicted that a North Korean attack on the South would kill 100,000 people in Seoul in the first few days alone, while others put the estimate even higher — one would expect to see a major mobilization happening across the political, military, and diplomatic arms of the US government.
