IGN looks forward to Killzone 2

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Every year the games website IGN lists their top anticipated games. Their article here lists Killzone 2  only after Grand Theft Auto IV and LittleBigPlanet.

Why?: While some of the design elements and intense shootouts look like great fun, I’m more interested in this for the technical aspects to see what the PlayStation 3 can really do. The lighting effects and animation quality look absolutely amazing, and if it takes off like we expect it to, the game should raise the visual bar across the system. Let’s just hope the gameplay is as strong as the graphics, and that Guerilla can deliver a great online experience to boot.

If there is one game you buy this year, we would have to recommend Killzone 2. The superior graphics really take advantage of the image processing that PS3 can handle.
