God of War fans who live within reasonable travel distance of Los Angeles, CA will have a chance to go hands on with Ready at Dawn's PlayStation Portable title God of War: Ghost of Sparta very soon. How soon? Try this Thursday.

Sony is currently taking submissions from eager fans looking for an early look at the next installment in the heralded action franchise. There will be only be two, one-hour sessions of hands-on time with the game, so I’d suggest putting your name in as soon as possible.

Obviously, anyone who participates in the play session will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement and agree not to utter a peep about what they saw with anyone. I don’t mean to play the cynic, but why do I have a feeling someone is going to break that agreement within a few hours of signing it? Please prove me wrong.

You can find all of the relevant details over at the PlayStation Blog. And if you aren't in the L.A. area, or you just aren't able to check out the game for yourself, check back here during E3, as I'm sure the game will make an appearance in some form, and we'll be there to tell you all about it.
