Eurogamer Killzone 2 review – it’s a 9 [Update]

I’m trying to talk about Killzone 2, but it’s hard not for me to spout my filthy fanboy lies and oppress the harmless PS3 owners here.

I’m so green with envy you see, because I’m poor and I can’t afford one. >:(

theevilaires the savant.

Psychotext the peasant.

lol you two are on a roll today and by roll i don’t mean each others balls…really i don’t. keep up the effort make us laugh boys. oh i forgot killzone 2 is awesome

I can’t any more. The shelter turns the power off at midnight.

Haha….

I don’t know if we should laugh looking into the near future.

Anyway, for February, all I have to worry about is Killzone 2.

great its midnight hey everyone lets talk behind psychobitch back about how much of a xbot homo he is shit keep forgetting killzone 2 ftw (have to stay on topic)

Only nine out of ten?

FLOP!

OMG, PS3 exclusives really are shit, aren’t they…

You’re right Stickboy, lets see if Infamous will be the saviour of the PS3 instead.

This game is shit.

theevilaires; you’re stupid.

Anyway, as I’ve said. I must get this game. I must.

“Michael: You’re full of shit. Exclusive and official does not equal biased.”

You’re kidding, right? A review on a site that made contractual deals with the very developers themselves to promote a game is… unbiased?

Right.

@Michael
The review was done and scored before the exclusive deal was made.

Michael, you’re paranoid and very untrusting. It saddens me.

oh yea ?

…

Yeah.

Well, I’d usually agree about official soruces, but having played the first Motorstorm extensively… I dunno how it got that score.

OR how Warhawk got it’s score.

But yeah EXCLUSIVE reviews are always dodgy.

Yeah.

oh really

There is quite a commotion going on in the Norwegian game community after the country’s biggest gaming site Gamer.no posted a rather negative 6/10 review of Killzone 2 yesterday morning.

It contained obvious flame-bait phrases like:
Title of the review: “The false prophet”

“Playstations long expected trump card is finally out of the sleeve, and it’s rather a jack than an ace.”

“To aquire a contender against Microsofts Master Chief has long been a high priority with the Japanese Giant (Sony), well, at least amongst the screaming coir who call themselves Sony-fans.”

“It holds a high star in the church, and I will soon curse from the pulpit infront of the Playstation-community”

Well, those sentences pretty much sets the standard for the rest of the review, which contains more mentions of Halo 3 and Gears of War than Killzone 2 itself…

But that’s not the end of the story. An hour after this review was posted, Edda Media, the media house which owned Gamer.no, kicked the site prematurely out of the network.
(It was announced the day before that they would separate from the network, but continue to be hosted by Edda Media as long as next week, but now Gamer.no is no more. They were separated because of a seemingly unrelated event, but no details were given.)

I can’t imagine what would happen if IGN or Eurogamer posted a review like that!

This is what remains of Gamer.no today:

At this point, getting 9′s and 10′s is kinda expected for KZ2, but originally I expected it to be a failed attempt at meeting the ’05 trailer — Instead it looks really fucking awesome, do want.
