      They both share influence from the Nazi soldiers I believe, Helghast also look a lot like Combine soldiers from Half Life 2.

      Timed exclusive (has it even been confirmed that it's timed yet, I was under the impression it was still being speculated). It is definitely coming to PS3 though.

        I'm afraid you're wring Tiger of Wu.

        It's getting released on all 3 platforms at the same time. Don't worry, I'll help you when you make mistakes.

          There's a difference between spelling errors and a typo. Looks like you're wrong again.

          Typos.

          It's plural, meaning there's no apostrophe.

          To make it seem like you didn't edit the second time, duh.

          The truth is the only people who care about this little discussion is us (well, mostly you ), and since we both know you edited it, lying to look like you didn't means nothing. It would be like Lucifer saying to God 'I didn't revolt, it was Saint Michael I swear!'

          This is an article about multiplatform shooters in 2009.

          I'm really in this article because you are, aren't?

          And... care to elaborate? XD

          She was a self-loving, attention seeking, ignorant excuse for a 'celebrity'.

          True.

          But that doesn't change the fact that she was a mother and wife who was deeply loved who, unfortunately, died. You don't need to like her, but show some *bleep*ing respect.

          Hunskelper Mar 23, 09
          Why have I to show her some respect?

          She was an ignorant self-centred bully who only cared for herself. The world is a better place without her. Cancer didn't turn her into a nice person.

          I feel sorry for her kids, true, but then again there's always the upside that they won't have to be raised by that poor excuse for a human being never mind celebrity.

          She was a complete Rtard, but there is such a thing as common decency. Rolling on the floor giggling your little ass off and saying she 'popped her scaly clogs. Good riddance.' is just plain *bleep*ed up. There's being a realist and there's being a complete ass-hole, right now you're being the latter by pissing on the memory of a dead woman.

          There's no need for it, so just cut it the hell out.

          Throughout her entire life Jade did nothing to earn my respect. The fact she's stopped breathing hasn't changed that, and I point blank refuse to show someone respect when they don't deserve it.

          That doesn't change the fact that it's completely out of order to run around yelling 'Ding dong the witch is dead' where it's totally irrelevant, and you know it.

          Meanwhile, reports from Essex are suggesting there are people gathering in churchyards all around the county in hope that they might get a chance to dance on Jades grave..

          I thought we'd stopped pointing out each others little insignificant mistakes?

          Well, you've already formed an opinion of me which means that even when I do make a funny, you want notice because you'll be far too busy raging irl.

          Do you want to see my Jade Goody tribute videos?

          One minute we're Mr. and Mrs. (you're Mrs., btw) Troll and Trollette, just annoying each other for jokes. Next thing, I've 'already formed an opinion' of you, so there's no point. Whatever you say.

          And there's a difference between making a funny and being a prick. This isn't Mock the Week. You're not Frankie Boyle. You weren't making a joke. You were just unnecessarily being a dick running around and yelling 'she's dead, hurrah'. If I'm biased 'cause I think you're a child with no respect, then so be it, but I'd rather be biased then a complete idiot proving I'm just as ignorantly spiteful as the dead woman I'm mocking.

          Feel free to keep talking though, I'm sure it'll make you feel better.

          Bet you wouldn't be acting all premenstrual if I was mocking her and she hadn't died/been diagnosed with cancer.

          I wouldn't be pissed off if you were mocking her before she died, no. I mocked her before she died. What do you call Jade Goody in a wedding dress? A shuttle cock.

          But that's the whole point. You weren't mocking her in a funny, jokey, haha way. And she is dead. Which is exactly why it's out of order and just downright disrespectful, and if you can't understand that then there's no point even talking to you.

    Couldn't give a crap about any more shooters this year, to be honest. Killzone 2 is a mighty fine game, and in a market saturated with FPS games, I don't feel the need to purchase another one this year.

      I'm almost certain that you will change your mind later this year. Unless you really are serious about that decision.

      Maybe it's because I've got tests left and right in school so I gotta study, or maybe because the game is a month old now...but I'm sorta over Killzone 2 now. Definitely looking for another shooter soon.

    Taker4ever Mar 21, 09
    No, seriously, I'm just not a big FPS fan. I very rarely purchase them unless they either sound truly fantastic, or are very cheap. For example, I have around 30 PS2 games, and only four of those are FPS - I bought BLACK and Killzone as they looked fantastic. Darkwatch was a birthday present, and I got Area 51 for a quid (one of the most underrated shooters of the last generation btw, highly recommended).

    For PS3 I only have Killzone 2 and Resistance. The latter I got with my console, and the former I bought because I was genuinely interested in it. No other FPS on the way this year excites me - I don't 'get' the Bioshock hype, and Call Of Duty needs to work on the single-player aspect before I'll even consider it.

      1. COD4 had an excellent campaign.

      2. I would be surprised if Killzone 2 was FPS of the year. I reckon, COD6, Bioshock 2 and Dark Athena will all > it.

      3. You don't deserve a PS3 if you don't care for Bioshock.

        I guess I don't deserve a PS3 then I like the plot of it all, but the game holds little interest otherwise. Same with the sequel.

    Bioshock 2 & CoD6 will be the only two FPS's for me this year.

    But what awesome ones they should be...
