This is an interesting game with some solid-sounding features released for the PS3 a bit ago from Obsidian Entertainment. Finally, it’s been reviewed by a popular PS3 blog, and the overall opinion: a big disappointment. Bugginess isn’t just for PCs, in case you didn’t know.
Killzone 2 is considered one of the best first person shooters of any generation, so it follows that many were eager to get their grubby hands on the very ambitious sounding sequel. Many of the reports from E3 filtering in indicate that Guerilla Games is working very hard to silence the few critics the original game had.
A source of great frustration for many new PS3 users has been the lack of an HDMI cable inside the package (even though they aren’t that expensive anymore), but for newbie users its been the stoppage of a great deal of fun. Now Sony has addressed the issue, according to a source:
It seems the awaited sequel to the popular Max Payne franchise has once again hit a snag and been delayed, this time for quite awhile. Here’s the scoop, according to a source at a popular blog site:
