    Wonder if Killzone 3 will get a review here on this website. I hope so, would be a crime to omit reviewing such an awesome PS3 franchise. Looking forward to seeing what the guys thought of this. In usual Killzone fashion most of the critics seem to have a love hate view on the game, there isn't much middle ground.

    There'll be a review, but it'll be closer to (or on) the release date. I'm guessing the guys either didn't recieve an early copy, or wanted to wait for the multiplayer to go full-scale.

    I doubt that the GB dudes wont review this game ,  being a high profile FPS and all , probably they dont have a pre-release copy , as they would have mentioned it on the Bombcast , as they did with Dead Space 2

    I've been playing the beta for whole lot of hours I really love it, and it's only one map.  Then I played the single player demo and this became an instant buy for me, just on those alone I think I would give this game a 5.

     They reviewed Killzone 2 so they'll probably get around to Killzone 3 eventually.  Giant Bomb isn't exactly a huge media outlet, so they don't always get review copies of games, meaning that they may have to buy the game on release day to review it. 
     
    Killzone 3's lowest review on metacritic is 70, and 7/10 on gamestats.  I wouldn't consider that love it or hate it territory.  Deadly Premonition is more of a love it or hate it sort of thing.

    Well, it's not like GB didn't review any high profile games last year, like Red Dead Redemption, or MGS Peace Walker. 
     
    Oh, wait...

    they may not review every game but they tend to talk about just about every game on the bombcast, which most of the time gives you enough information on the game, at least for me

    I would at least like to see an extensive Quick Look that shows multiple single player levels as well as some multi player if Giant Bomb doesn't do a written review.

    Agreed, after watching enough of the site it seems that reviews will come out a day or so beforehand (if the publisher allows it on a preview/early copy of the game) or a little while afterwhile. Until then all we can do is wait & shouldn't stop anyone if they are enjoying the beta.

    I don't see why they wouldn't. There isn't too much else out then.
     
    Also, they damn well better because I bet all my quest exp on imcalling.it on a four star review, because I got bored. I'm fine with losing it all if I guessed wrong, but I don't want to lose 10% because it never happened.

    My guess is ... Jeff is probably reviewing it, while Ryan will probably review bulletstorm the same week of release.

    That was because they were only allowed to show a certain amount of footage before the game launched.

    I don't see how there couldn't be a review. Jeff enjoyed Killzone 2 enough to give it 5 stars, I think he'll jump right on 3. Especially now that they made it slightly more CoD-like dare I say.

    So I sent Ryan an @reply about this on twitter the day everyone stared posting their reviews and he replied saying "What's a Killzone?!" So I'd say it won't be out until it gets closer to release.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I played this game!  
    I really enjoyed it, and I dislike FPS story modes even in short doses (with a few exceptions like MoH:Frontline)
     
    I played the demo for PS+ members and I'm going to try out the multiplayer beta tomorrow!

    Looking forward to their review. I too have been enjoying the Multiplayer a lot and downloaded the single player demo last night as was blown away by it. It was action packed from start to finish and quite varied. I think the new controls are great and really make the game more accessible. I can only hope those disappointed with Killzone 2 because of the controls will now play Killzone 3 and enjoy it's greatness. :D
     
    I've already pre-ordered the Helghast Edition and cannot wait for the 22nd to arrive. What I've played of it so far, I'm enjoying it more than any FPS i've played.

    I love this site, and I am always interested in what the guys have to say on games. 
     
    however... 
     
    The biggest let down for me is the inconsistency regarding reviews for games.  Killzone 3 is a prime example.  Every website under the sun has published their reviews, yet nothing from the guys here yet.   I find this frustrating as I respect the quality of work from the site since I am in the same age bracket as the staff [i.e. not a kid] and usually agree with Jeff's viewpoint on gameplay.

    @sizu:  Yeah, the usually are last to get their reviews up, but I really respect the fact that they seem to actually be waiting for the game to go public to get a more accurate representation of how the MP is.  I find it kind of irresponsible to review a MP focused game before its even open to the public.  Every other site is in such a rush to get their review up, most of the reviews out there barely seem to touch on the MP.

    Unlike other sites, they do all of the previews, quick looks, reviews, go to events and interviews. That's 5 people. Cut them some slack, jeff is working on the review.

    The single player is an absolute mess but from the beta and what I've played of botzone the multiplayer is doing all the serious leg work in the game. The servers aren't up yet so Jeff will probably be waiting for that to get some more time with the multiplayer before posting a full review.

    I saw some of Jeff's tweets hinting that he's also playing some game called  ''Hyperdimension Neptinia'' whilst doing his Killzone 3 run through. So I looked it up. And dear lord, I feel sorry for Jeff. I really do.
