I'm sure. Guys, pay attention, from now on, we TOTALLY CANNOT use Metacritic on GameSpot even though they're owned by the same corporation and are sister-sites because that would make NO sense at all.

Heck we can't use it even though Metacritic is a sister-site to Gamerankings itself.

NO LOGIC FOR YOU!

These days I'm not sure what it is we're using... first its gamespot only, then the next day its gamerankings then its metacritic the day after that and finally its gamespot again. Point is fanboys are going to use the site that shows their views the best.

Overall tho, if you're going to use a site that compiles an avg... at least use the one that has more sources and thus is a more representative avg. In this situation, that equals metacritic

I was advised that there are SPOILERS in the Gametrailers video. They like to spoil games. Do not repeat anything about Killzone from that video or you shall be Killzowned.

Yep, Resistance 2 got a 9.1 while Killzone 2 gets a 9.2, not bad, but he complained about no co-op though.

Ok after watching the Gametrailers review I'll have to get this game. Probably next month, thank to having other games to play, but I may have to pick it up if I loved the demo. I'll just have to make time. I'll have games to play on the PC (FEAR 2), PS3 (Killzone 2, if I pick it up this month), and 360 (Star Ocean 4).

It does feel weird getting hyped for a FPS on the PS3 and a JRPG on the 360 at the start of this generation I though that would never happen.

EDIT: Also how cares if the score is lower than Halo 3. Halo 3 was a great game, Killzone 2 getting outscored by it does not mean that much, they are both great games. A 9.2 is a great score.

Killzone going from a sub-A game to an AAA game is disappointing? Wow.

Also, Halo 3 came out like what 2 years ago ??? FPS standards have been risen since then by COD4 etc.

I didnt expect the game to score higher than Halo 3, but it's not disappointing. That's what is unfortunate, and I've said it for... well... years now. Anything less than a "Halo Killer" is a failure in the eyes of fanboys and some critics for this game. The little known fact though... is that there will never be a "Halo Killer". No game "kills" another. A great game will always stand on it's own, regardless of other games out there. People dont understand that. So yeah, it's unfortunate that a 9.2 is "disappointing" for this game. A 9.2 is a great score... and Killzone 2's score should stand on it's own. Halo killer it is not, Halo killer it never was going to be.

Here are the scores that GT has given out to big shooters in the past.

Halo 3 - 9.8

BioShock - 9.5

The Orange Box - 9.3

COD4 - 9.4

Resistance 2 - 9.1

Gears of War - 9.1

Gears of War 2 - 9.5

Left 4 Dead - 8.6

That gives you an idea of where GT puts KZ2.

By the way, GT's review lowered KZ2 down to a 93 average. That's lower than Halo 3. We've been Killzowned. :(
