Killzone and Killzone 2

Killzone and Killzone 2

So, I was watching AOTS on G4 the other day, and on their "the Loop" segment, they were talking about what the PS3 needs to do to turn it's current situation around.  They mentioned that having Killzone 2 playable at E3 (and looking as good as it did on that infamous trailer) would be a good step in the right direction. 

Later in the show, some fan called in with a comment about how he was looking forward to Killzone 2, and Kevin asks him if he has ever played the original Killzone; he hadn't.  Kevin then goes on to talk about how the original Killzone was a crap game, and how he's surprised at how many people are looking forward to the sequel for such a game.  Reading various articles around the cyberweb, I've seen the same sentiment repeated a few other times: "The first Killzone was crap, why are you looking forward to the sequel?"

I actually liked Killzone.  A lot.  It wasn't the Halo-killer it tried to be, but it was still a very solid shooter with a cool storyline.  The game itself may have had a few minor issues, but it really couldn't have been further from "a crap game".  Is all this Killzone hate justified, or is it just a result of all the general Sony hate that's been living on the cyberweb lately?

More than meets the eye, indeed.

A clip from the upcoming Transformers movie directly from the site of director Michael Bay. I'd pay admission just to see this one clip on the big screen.

Middle Earth marriages

Since the folks who are making the Lord of the Rings MMO couldn't decide on whether or not to include gay marriage options in-game, the executive producer said, "Screw it, there will be no in-game marriage at all." Good for him, I say.

In-game marriage is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of; it should be banned in all games. Gay in-game marriage is the stupidest and gayest thing I've ever heard of. That is all.

Here's an MMO safety tip...

Here's an MMO safety tip...

Don't give out your real name and address to strangers, and then dare them to come to your house and beat you up.  It's just not the thing to do.
