That's right, I said it.But it's true. After playing Killzone 2, there is nothing I am looking forwardto playing. LBP, while a masterpiece, sits in its shiny plastic case looking atme as if to say "Et tu Action? Et tu?” Socom glares at me with such disgust;you'd thought I Ok’d its release pre-1.20 patch. I even returned my Fallout 3 and BioShock rentals because I knew there was just no point. Not now. I can't help it. KZ2 (even in its 450MB beta form) is stellar. There's just nothing else I want to play. I know, "What about R2? Or Valkyria Chronicles? Or Naruto?” Simply put: They're not Killzone. I say this to you for 2 reasons:
1. All of the games I've mentionedare, IMO, fantastic games that every gamer who likes to proclaim themselves as a gamer should play, love, and recommend. Each is a particular slice of awesome gaming available on the PS3 and each is the gaming equivalent to a Too Human/LAIR mash-up sprinkled with a little Legendary when compared to Killzone. Even as a beta.
2. Set's the new standard for COD5 Halo4 future console FPS games.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but it should be by release :)
HONORABLE MENTION: Shortly after playing a few rounds of KZ2, a good friend of mine called me up, excited that he was able to get the 360 demo of Left 4 Dead. So I go over excited to pay a game that I had been keeping up with since the days of owning a 360. Anyways, it was fun...kinda. It just felt like killing sporadic streams of zombies, tanks, smokers and boomers...over and over and over and over with no member of your party playing a significant role towards anything that mattered. While not a graphics whore, I still like something pleasing to the eye. L4D is FUGLY. Valve needs to seriously update the Source Engine.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I finally got to play Killzone 2 today and wow I just can't stop cumming.
Haha thats disgusting dude.
Wish I was in the beta.
Even with only 3 maps, I can play the game for hours.
Killzone 2= Hot Sex.
I agree with you. I'm at the end of Valkyria Chronicles and I want to finish the game, but I keep thinking to myself "Hmmm. Headshot some Empire soldiers, or blow up some people in the K2 beta?" And this is from a BETA that is barely 1/2 a gigabite.
