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.

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!

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.

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

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

“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.

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. >:(

We’ll just talk about Killzone 2 while you think about them.

No Psychotext there is no end. He’s clearly a genius.

Anyway, I just keep on seeing fuckign spoilers for this game. Wish people would keep their footage in their pants, and let me not have to see it.
