So let me get this right. The site awards games like Halo 3 a 9.8 and Gears 2 a 9.7 and they are Sony fanboys? Yes, god forbid that they rate a ps3 game a 9.9! Those 9.7's sure do look like 6's now. :P You are just a damn fanboy, and your claiming this site is? For one, they didn't get their review copy early, maybe you stayed out of ps3 threads unless they were targets for your trolling but MM made a thread last month that confirmed that all reviewers recieved review copies for the game (much earlier then most other games to boot). Also, they aren't the first non official PS3 mag/site to review the game. There was another, only it wasn't sanctioned by Metacritic. So what your seeing here is a second site breaking the embargo but because it scored well and is counted by metacritic you start screaming and whining that they are sony fanboys. Furthermore, different reviewers have a difference in opinions. This reviewer is a PC gamer and was voicing his distaste for other console shooters (he didn't review those games). Also, when he stated that K2 made Gears 2 look like a high school outing, he goes on to say what a huge compliment that is. Now, I agree that it is best to wait for bigger reviewers but not for the fanboy reasons as you. I'm sure when this same site gave such increadible reviews to Halo 3 and Gears 2 you didn't say let's wait for other reviews because they are such ps3 fanboys. Your reasons for wanting to wait are childish and immature. Seriously, go enjoy Halo 3 if that's what you enjoy. But if it's so good I don't see how you have so much time to voice such fanboyish comments so frequently.

 

I honestly want Killzone 2 to be good. I will play it eventually if its good. But I will not get my hopes up because Middle Eastern Gamer said that the game is the best thing sicne Jesus (or mohamed in this case).

I would have posted nothing if people took this review with a grain of salt like they should have. But all these posts here didn't ask the questions of how they got an early copy? why this site wasn't heard of before? and why they are comparing a 3rd person shooter to a FPS and calling it a high school production.

All everyone was posting is this thread was "PS3 FTW!" and "This game is going to be awesome!"

I'm sorry but this review screams bullshit. Conviniently Halo 3 has a 9.8 and Gears has 9.7 but this has 9.9!!!!! ITs better...by 0.1...yes, PS3 FTW!

Honestly I think all those reviews are BS.

The site says its performing maintenance (if its even real) and I still havent been able to read any of those reviews in the fullest. But people need to stop seeing what they are hoping to see and look at the obvious facts.

Also, if hes a PC biased gamer, how is he to give a fair assesment of a console FPS game?

 

The site has been around for a while now and has been a part of metacritic. All of those reviews we've mentioned you can head over to metacritic and see them posted. And really, I don't see any "omg! ps3 rox 360 now! ps3 is god!" posts in this thread at all. And I don't see anymore "this game is going to be awesome!" in this thread then any other thread about a hotly anticipated game. I didn't go into threads about "Halo 3 just got a 10! It's going to be an amazing game!" and act like I'm on my period. And i'm sure more then a year ago when they rated Halo 3 that they gave it an 9.8 plotting all that time to one up it with Killzone 2 and grant Gears 2 a 9.7 just before to make it look even better. Also, comparing K2 to Gears 2 is nothing like comparing it to lets say viva pinata. They are both shooters that rely on cover. So your saying a comparison can't be made because of the view points? Bull crap. He was comparing K2 to what is probably to hottest shooter on the market right now. And he didn't say Gears 2 was crap, what he said was that K2 is so amazing that everything else fails in comparison. Either way, let people celebrate a great score if they want. There's no need for comments like yours with no base. Your just screaming "ps3 fanboys" when the only proof there is that they really aren't. Your throwing out worthless point after worthless point trying to degrade the review in every way you can think when there really is no reason. If you had a worthwhile argument about it, then that would be fine. But you don't. You haven't read the review. You take everything out of context and twist the words to your own liking. You degrade the publication (and maybe even the people of the middle east with that jesus comment, what was the purpose in that?) for no reason other then the fact that it scored .1 better then Halo and that they broke the embargo (they are not even the first to do so! and as I said before ALL reviewers have had their review copies for a month. The only reason other publications haven't published reviews is because of the embargo which this site and another obviously broke). In fact, if you attacked the site for breaking the embargo and not just making stupid assumptions I'd have no problem with your posts.
