Maxim doesn't play their games before "reviewing" them. They usually give scores based how much the marketing team pays them. I thought everyone knew this already.

They gave Haze a 4/5 for crying out loud. The people trying to pass this review off as legit really need a reality check.

It'll probobly have better music :P

seriously tho, the maxim crowd etc are the guys who made halo and cod so big, i know so many 'cool' non gamer types who have systems just for those games.

if they arent down, killzone 2 won't be huge.

^^^looooooooool

There is a Maxim crowd, where?

I dont mean maxim crowd, i just mean theres a ton of guys who play shooters and think all other kinds of games are dumb, and they don't read game mags, but might read that.

Its not all gamers thats the reason cod is so huge.  Where i work we hire young people all the time, a lot of em dont like games, but then go on about cod.

Game geeks are all over whatever comes out.  Other people aren't but they are just as essential to make a mega hit.  Im not sayin this review means anything, but it may mean more than people assume.

Those sure are some lovely eyes.

I'm an eye guy, btw.

^maxim plz stick to topics like the picture above, leave gaming out of it, you are talking out of your arse!

my messege to maxim on killzone 2 review........ "**ck off"

maxim doesn't hold a candle to playboy. It is the turd nugget magazine of men who are too afraid to lay a play boy out in good articles. It is the momma's boy mag. booooooooo

 50 Cent = (C)Rap

You make a very valid point. Maxim's crowd is the type of person who likely plays the odd high-profile FPS. I would've expected the likes of Maxim to automatically give Killzone 2 a perfect score.

That said, I have doubts as to whether their readership would be large enough to seriously - or even noticable - effect its sales performance.
