I recently saw a video preview of the first mission in Killzone 2 and i must say it looks fantastic. From what i saw I'm thinking we may really have a contender for a COD4 killer on our hands. The Guerilla guys have taken full advantage of the PlayStation 3's power as the graphics look fantastic and the AI is said to act like a real military unit i know this has been said over and over again but this time it looks like the truth. The AI is essential in Killzone 2, rather than just being there to mill around shooting somewhere "near" the enemy they actually help you and you depend on them in some situations to advance through the levels. From what i saw the first mission looks insane. As you may know the game takes place on Helghan, the home planet of the Helghast two years after they assaulted Vekta, the mission begins just like any other invasion level with fire and flak flying everywhere and AI getting cut down left right and centre. You need to work with your squad to advance through the level and establish a foothold for your fellow troops bring up the rear in a convoy. I was a fan of the first Killzone and i am seriously thinking of investing in a PS3 for this one!

Race Driver GRID Demo
Well what can i say? I have been looking forward to this game since i saw the trailer a couple of months ago and i was excited when i saw the demo was up. First off the game is made by Codemasters so it's got some good talent behind it, after all they have been making the great Collin Mcrae rally games.
So the demo loaded and the first thing i noticed was the great graphics just on the title screens. Loading the game and getting started is easy and the loading screens are very short so you get straight into the action. The demo has three races, time trials and xbox live. While racing the cars feel brilliant, they handle how you would expect a real car to handle and you have to control just like you would in the real world. If you speed into a corner with no braking you WILL spin out, so a good understanding of racing and driving is a help. The graphics on the cars is spot on they look amazing as well as the tracks and backdrops.
The damage on the cars is very good and the games engine breaks parts of the bodywork off in the right places at the right time. For example one of the tracks is based in SF and as you would expect it's very hilly, as the car jump the hills and connect with the tarmac the bumpers/splitters crack, bend and distort. Overall this game is looking great and i will definitely be buying it when it hits the
shelves.
