Halo is not the best shooter out there, but it definetly is not on the same level as Killzone. That's a pretty low insult, and a false one in truth. Halo series has been a lot better than the Killzone series, and from my opinion of Halo, this isn't looking to great for my thoughts on Killzone.

This is why I always wonder why there is so much hype for KZ2. I guess with shooters nowadays, quality doesn't even matter.

yep thats why Halo 3 sold nearly 7 million copies and Bioshock which is 1000 times better sold less then 2 million.


Bioshock good.  Bioshock sold more than it should, becuase the game was not a good game at all.  It was stereotypical, boring, and short.  There was nothing about the game that was the least bit impressive, and the people that bought into the hype of this, such as myself, should feel cheated.  

Halo 3 was the same way, but it least it has an addictive online component to keep you coming back.

But I think we are in agreement at least that shooters don't need quality anymore, all ya have is a bunch of people buying the same old stereotypical shit they've been making for 5 yrs.  Just advertise and hype, and the fools will buy into it, literally.  I wish someone could jsut come out and do something different with the shooter genre, like Retro did with Metroid Prime.  But there are no signs of that in the near future.
