OXCGN is well known for its totally unbiased reports on non-360 games, and this is no exception.

Their US correspondent spent several days in the closed Killzone 3 beta testing, and this is his report. To say he's excited is an understatement, but his report (preview/review) is very extensive and definitely worth the read, and it is extensive, just warning you.

So if you only want a flame-war, don't bother going there, cause you wont find one, great game, great write up.

At E3 2005, Sony unveiled many trailers for PS3 titles. Sony became infamous for passing them off as in-game gameplay, but they turned out to all be CG. Killzone 2 was one of those games; Guerrilla tried to cover it up later on by saying it was a “target” video, versus an actual marketing trailer.

Killzone 2 released on February 27, 2009, and surprised many (including myself) that it looked so similar to the trailer, and that a sequel to a title that was in the lowly gaming ranks of Superman 64 could turn out to be so excellent.

As we always do with my various looks at titles of late, let’s fast-track forward to the year 2010 once more, and take a closer look at the latest iteration of the franchise, Killzone 3. But more specifically, the closed beta for the game.

Plus let’s all remember, that the beta is still only in Alpha code, so nothing is final (as with all beta testing) and any discrepancies that may show up will no doubt be ironed out by release date in 2011.
