I completed Killzone! Hooray! And I did it on Trooper as well, which isn't Elite or even Veteran but at least it's not Rookie. It has taken me far longer than it should take anyone to complete the campaign, but I must say that the amount of time I have actually spent playing the PS3 at all is a shockingly small. Work has been keeping me busy, and I found that whenever I did feel in the mood for some playing I just opted to get killed on the online game instead.

So I just decided to fight my way through it in the end, and now that I have done I am still floating round on a sort of euphoric gaming cloud. It has been so long since I completed a game, let alone one as satisfying as Killzone 2. I guess it is because it is my first time in Next Gen, but I couldn't stop til I did it and I'm so pleased now it's done.

The trophies are a nice touch too, popping up now and then for random acomplishments at seemingly strange intervals, only adding the sense of achievement as I played the campaign. I was chuffed by getting the surprise Radec trophy (don't want to spoil owt but I did it in 19mins 56secs - sweet!).

Just two more things to say about this game:

a) The knife is awesome.

b) Rico is a f***ing ****.

In this fit of aforementioned euphoria I went into GameStation (not a good idea!) and got meself some new gameage, being Dead Space, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Uncharted and Lair. Dead Space because I want to play a scary game through before playing Silent Hill Homecoming, Rainbow Six because a good friend recommended it, Uncharted because it's supposedly a great game and I want to be up to date for Uncharted 2, and Lair because I wanted a bad game (for comparison) and - well - it is about flying on a dragon which is something I have wanted to try since watching Knightmare in my youth, even if I only do it once and never again.

So added to Resi 5, MotorStorm P.R. and Unreal Tournament III, I have quite a bit of gaming to get done.
