Killzone 2 is interesting pairing of fantastic game framework and an IP that is...weak, to say the least.This means much of Killzone 2's gameplay is really quite good. It might be the best looking game yet on a home console system. Dark, urban enviroments are slick and appear more detailed ...

Killzone 2 probably has one of the most storied histories of any game in the past decade. In its now legendary E3 2005 premiere trailer it became the poster boy for the potential power of the Playstation 3. For the next four years speculation, and hype, or whether or not ...

Redemption

The original Killzone suffered from an overabundance of hype. Billed by Sony as a Halo-killer, the game inevitably fell short of expectations when it turned out pretty average. In 2005, a trailer for Killzone 2 was unveiled at E3 showcasing incredible graphics and chaotic setpieces. Many doubted Guerilla's ability to ...

Killzone 2 has been under the radar since its infamous debut trailer was seen at E3 2005. Nearly a year and a half before the PS3 was even out, the game was making enough of an impact to start gathering immediate attention. Since its predecessor failed to be the self-proclaimed ...

Great Shooter

Killzone 2 is a fun, solid shooter with fantastic graphics. I really enjoyed the pacing of the game which allows for a great ebb and flow to the action. While certainly not reinventing the shooter, Killzone 2 hits all the important points: great weapons, excellent cover system, and a good ...

If you're a fan of first-person shooters, there's a good chance that you have a Halo-playing Xbox 360 or a computer with a beefy one-thousand dollar graphics card. By the rare chance that you don't own either, it's likely that you spend your time gripping your Wii Zapper gangsta-style while ...
