This is a BS review.

First of all I can't even open the page.

Secondly how does a no name publisher like this get an early copy of killzone 2.

Thirdly, any game that says "It makes -insert current best game on competitirs console - looks like a high school attempt..." is a fanboy and a half.

Guerrilla Games prolly wrote this review themeslves.

 

Your calling it a BS review... yet you havent read it yet?

 

Indeed, that seems to be the case. Further, if it's good enough for Metacritic, it's good enough for most folk, and this review is already on Metacritic. Sure, it may not be a high-profile gaming site, but it is a gaming site

The problem here is that we have seen a number of companies putting very, very much focus on not allowing any negative reviews before the game is released. The fact that a noname gaming site recieves a copy before IGN does could very well be because it's easier to lean on them than IGN.

In case people haven't noticed, the absolutely most crucial day for these games is day 1. If the audience only has positive previews and positive reviews to go on then (because companies keeps tight control over those) the game is likely to sell very well that first day, and later negative reviews doesn't harm them as much.

I might be off the mark here, Killzone 2 is likely a very high quality game (as I've said numerous times before). I just agree with Disolitude's sceptisism about reviews coming in before the game is released, especially if the reviews come from noname sources.
