You should join the Killzone 2 clan and help us break the top 100 clans

But actually, none of the games you have listed would interest me in the single player portions, so I looked at your backloggery and picked Pikmin!

Luigi's Mansion!

I've never played Ico, but I'd go with that. Most people seem to love it.

Start with COD4, its a quick 5-6 hour game. Then Viva Pinata. Then ICO. Then Dead Space. Then Killzone 2 for the big finish.

First CoD, then KZ2.

Whatever, CoD 4 still looks amazing.  It also has a much more enjoyable single player mode than killzone 2, which is what you are going for.  I would say play CoD 4 first, just because it is a better game.

Those are some good games :)

I tried to make my girlfriend play Viva Pinata and she was terrorized by it. Did anyone else find that game really hard to get into?

COD4 is a great game for anyone who can stand (relatively) realistic military games. It's a classic, really. I found that level where you're in the bomber and it kind of feels like you're playing an old-school video game with a friend watching really disturbing.  To think it's come full circle, and killing people en mass has gotten to be just like playing a video game.

ICO is a great game if you like puzzle/adventure games. If you didn't like Shadow then the aesthetic probably won't grab you. It's a game that keeps getting better as you play and makes you love it by the end, but if you really don't like the beginning it's probably not worth playing with all the other stuff you've got.

KZ2 I've only really played for the multiplayer. The classes make it really fun. (And the graphics are really amazing on some of the stages with color.)

I'd say COD4 or ICO.

Alot of people are saying CoD4 before KZ2. I'm saying the opposite.

Firstly, you'll get addicted with CoD4 multiplayer and I guarantee that you won't want to jump ship to KZ2 if you start off with CoD4 multiplayer.

Secondly, control wise, CoD4 is superior. If you loved Halo series, CoD series, Orange Box, Bioshock and all those other shooters, you will HATE KZ2's control scheme. I can understand that from a non-shooter lovers standpoint its okay, but it's completely unintuitive if you're familiar with FPS controls. There's definitely a difference between Halo and CoD4, they are both different BUT they share the same fundamentals, KZ2 is almost entirely different.

There's differentiating yourself from convention and competition, but it just felt like Guerilla were just trying to be different for the sake of being different.

Also, One thing I've loved about other shooters is that you'll find some parts will actually move your emotions (even slightly). You'll care if something happens to someone. Not in Killzone 2. The ISA is as heartless as the Helghast and your comrades are jerks. I really couldn't care less who won the war, it didn't stir any emotions.

One thing KZ2 definitely one ups most FPS is atmosphere. It's not just the graphics, it's the intensity that KZ2 creates. You literally feel like you're struggling to survive (especially on the tougher difficulties), it might not be because of you're actually struggling, it might just be your surroundings that create that feeling.

The only negative thing about the jump from KZ2 to CoD4 is graphics/atmosphere (Though CoD4 stirs the same feelings in multiplayer sometimes), The negative things you'll experience with the opposite is you'll hate KZ2's controls, Characters, Multiplayer and the fact that you know mostly where they got their ideas from and how few of their original ideas actually translated well into the game.

Don't get me wrong KZ2 is a great game, just don't play it after CoD4, because as a complete game it's inferior (not by much though). Also, Playing Cod4 second has the added benefit of you being closer to the launch date of MW2 once you are sick of CoD4, and trust me at that point none of these PS3 fans will be turning back to KZ2 once that drops (unless they like to look at the same pretty graphics over and over and over again, which alot will be mentioning to detract from the awesomeness that will be MW2).

As much as I love CoD 4, KZ2 is better, more realistic, better looking, better animated, and more challenging and skill requiring overall.

Call Of Duty 4.
