It's worth mentioning that KZ2 will be the only one out of all the games you named to get a 5/5 from OPM...

RE5 is probably going to control better, and it has coop.  You really think KZ2 will score higher than RE5?  Oh, right, you said OPM.  NM.  And you're wrong, that's not worth mentioning.  That's like comparing a first party nintendo title with a similar 3rd party product on the wii and saying it's worth mentioning that nintendo power will score the first party higher.  Um, duh?

Pete_beast.  You've never heard of fear2 or resident evil 5?  How could you possibly have 500 posts in a gaming forum and not know about those games, yet you know about KZ2?  KZ2 may be getting more hype at the present moment, but those other games (RE series especially) are MUCH bigger games than killzone ever was.  If KZ2 was on both platforms, RE5 would easily be getting as much hype as KZ2.  Heck, if the ps3 has ANY other good games coming out soon, it wouldn't be getting this much hype.

OPM has given only three exclusives a 5/5: MGS4, LBP and now KZ2. They gave Uncharted a 4/5.

I suppose RE5 has a chance of getting a 5/5, but I say 4.5 is more likely. The direction they've gone in looks horrible. It's not survival horror anymore, it's a zombie shooter, like Left 4 Dead.

But RE5 is the only other game with a chance of nailing that 5/5. And I would confidently predict that KZ2 would end up with a higher metascore. KZ2 will sell more than RE5 (PS3).

Resident Evil 5 has very little hype because it really doesn't look that good. They took away what made Resident Evil special. It is equivalent to taking away all sneaking in MGS4 and making it a full shooter.
