    Killzone 2 has a lot to prove; more so than any game should reasonably have to. The one key genre the PlayStation family has always been lacking in has been the first-person shooter, and ever since Killzone was first unveiled in 2003 as a major first-party production, it has always been unfairly labelled as a ‘ Halo killer’. However, it was not to be, since the finished game was an enjoyable but unpolished and unrefined effort which required another handful of months... Read more

    The essence of life on other planets is all but a reality according to scientists. In a recent study by NASA, several scientists believe that Earth-like life might exist on millions of planets located within our own galaxy. Read more

    So is Killzone 2 the vaunted killer app that PlayStation fans have been desperately craving? Mostly. It’s certainly a step in the right direction that was started with Resistance: Fall of Man. It’s not the best shooter ever made, but it comes very close to living up to the unfair levels of hype heaped upon it over the years. With a solid campaign, addictive multiplayer, and some of the greatest presentation ever seen in a video game, Killzone 2 is well worth your... Read more

    "Killzone 2" was certainly worth the long wait, the cover-based single player campaign may be a tad short, although it’s certainly memorable and has a smart opposition army to contend with, whilst the multiplayer is up there with the greatness of the likes of Call of Duty and Halo. Read more

    I look at Killzone 2 as two games hiding under the guise of one. The first offers a decent if intense single player campaign mode utilizing some amazing tech and engine power we can only hope Sony finds a way to propagate to other titles. I say this having put in all my Killzone 2 hours on a 112" 1080p front projection system. While that alone may not be worth your $60, the multiplayer game is where Guerilla Games put forth their strongest creative muscle which alone is... Read more

    Killzone 2, Is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that has a very different feel to most other FPS games. This is in a sense that, Your Character, Sev, weighs a bit, and so does his weapons. You will notice that the first time you jump into action, with reduced speeds on walking and walking backwards, but gives a more realistic feel in that sense. Killzone 2 continues after Killzone and Killzone Liberation for the PSP. You Play as Sergeant Thomas Sev , and your job is to help... Read more

  2. Video game reviews: Killzone 2 (PS3)

    Reviewer: Elton Gahr, review.helium.us

    There is nothing bad about "Killzone 2" but that is because the people who made it didn't seem to take any risks. This is a first person shooter without being much else. So if you're looking for a pretty first person shooter than works well but doesn't add much then this is the perfect game, if you're looking for originality move on. Read more

  3. One of the greatest games I've played

    This has to be one of the greatest FPS games ever. To me it is second to Call of Duty 4 but maybe third after Modern Warfare 2 is released. I bought it about a month after it came out and always play the multiplayer which is amazing. I haven't yet finished the campaign because I always play the online multiplayer. Read more

    If you like 3D shooting games and you have a PS3 then this is a must-have game for you. It is a well paced, visually stimulating game that keeps you on your toes. I love all of the action and it is akin to Halo, but dare I say a little bit better. The multiplayer is great, especially when done online. I would recommend Killzone 2 to anyone who owns a Playstaion 3. Read more

    When i saw this game i was extremely excited. i thought it was finally gonna be the game to get me off of halo. but i was wrong. im so glad i didnt buy this. i was going to but my friend had it and he said i could borrow it. i figured i might as well try it out before i confirmed my purchase. what i got was shocking. i put the game in and immediately went to campaign. story seemed fun so i kinda got excited. then i just over time got bored. killzone 2's campaign is not...
