Killzone

Killzone 2, the long awaited triple A title from Guerilla Games, a subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, has finally been given a release date for the UK. The game is set to be released in the UK and North America on the 27th of February, while Europe will receive delivery a couple of days earlier, on the 25th. Reports suggest that the Australian release will be no later than the 26th.

Since there has been an embargo on unofficial reviews, a scandinavian website was asked to remove their pre-release review in the first week of this year. However, reviews from Official Playstation Magazine in the US have given the PS3 exclusive a perfect score of 5/5 – in the same edition that Street Fighter IV was also awarded top marks. Leaked editions of the British version of the magazine reveal that Killzone 2 has been given an almost perfect 9/10. You can read the leaked versions here.

Last night, a UK based eBayer sold a pre-release press kit of the game for around £400. You can see the eBay item here.

Have a look at some gameplay from the Beta test of the game that concluded at the end of 2008.

Most websites are taking pre-orders for the game, which is highly recommended since Killzone 2 is being hyped as the Game of the Year for 2009. As of writing, Play.com lists Killzone 2 as the number one pre-order for the Playstation 3 and third most pre-ordered game overall, behind the PC release of Sims 3 and Nintendo Wii’s My Fitness Coach. StreetFighter IV also features, coming in at number four overall, ahead of Resident Evil 5 which manages to scrape into the top ten. Both are the PS3 versions of the game.

I’ve got Resident Evil 5 currently pre-ordered at Amazon, who are offering the long awaited update for a credit crunched price of £33.99 while Killzone 2 comes in at £39.99, no surprise for a PS3 exclusive.

Top Gun

I watched Top Gun after a long while last night. I’d forgotten how funny it was.

This video clip pretty much sums it up for me.
