When we saw the trailer of Killzone 2 we just couldn't beleive what we saw.

And trust me it was worth the wait! This time you won't play as Templar like in KZ1. You're new character is Sev, a badass solider. In this game, the humans are the ones attacking the Helghast: Payback Time!

-Gameplay-
Killzone 2 is of course a FPS (First Person Shooter). The controls respond perfectly. And in some parts makes a very nice use of the PS3 Siaxix controls. Like when you shoot with a sniper, you'll have to stand still or you're wont be able to have a good aim. In KZ2 the battlefield is on Helgan, the Helghast planet. As soon as you'll start the game you will be in intense combat until the end of the game. In most parts of the game you will fight on foot, but in some parts, it will be in vehicles and trust me there's plenty of epic battles in this game.

-Graphics-
One word: Breathtaking! This game has some of the best graphics on the PS3. These are simply amazing you won't be able to believe you're eyes! And if you're playng in HD.... WOW!

-Sound-
This game has wonderful sound when you play in surround, you'll feel like you're on the battlefield. You'll hear bullet all around you, hear solider yell at each others, give orders or yell to scatter for an incoming grenade!

-Value-
When you'll have finished the campaign mode there's still the online multiplayer mode that will keep you playng for a long time. And for thoses of you who like to get trophies, there's 84 for you to collect. Some of them must be obtained online and others offline in the campain modes.

I'm sure you will enjoy the best FPS available on the PS3 9.5/10

Batman Arkham Asylum. I've never been a big fan of any Batman games before, but now I am.

I've never played Batman games before, and you don't need to do so to appreciate the game. Arkham Asylum is the jail where they put all of the craziest criminals. It's no big surprise that Batman caught almost all of the patients of the asylum. But when Batman get the craziest of them all in the asylum, the Joker, everything goes really bad. The Joker and his fellowers have taken control of Arkham and are planning a big party for Batman. He must now face all these crazy enemies alone.

-Gameplay-
In this game you play in a 3rd person view. The controls are simples and responds perfectly. In some part of the game you'll have to sneak you're way through the asylum or fight multiples enemies at the same time, resolve puzzles or beat one of the bosses. You also got lots of gagets to play with: Batrang, Batclaw, Explosives, Security devices cracker and more. All of these makes you feel like you really are the Batman we saw in all theses movies or comic books and not like a cheap beat em up game.

-Graphics-
In this game Batman can use a special view through his mask. When you activate it, everything you see is in black and blue. With it, you can easily see ennemies from far away (Even through walls) or see points of interest in yellow. There's only one problem with it. It's too perfect. This ability is so useful you play almost 90% of the game in this mode and won't be able to appreciate all of wonderful graphics of the game...

-Sound-
The voice acting is great. You'll have the choice to turn on the subtitles on in the option menu, but you won't have to. The music and sound effect of the game are perfect. There's nothing anoying about the sound in this game. Everything fits well. Through you're journey you'll also find tapes with interviews of the inmates of Arkham and be able to learn more about each one of them.

-Value-
Through you're journey you'll be able to upgrade Batman's weapon and armor. You'll also have the option to try to resolve the challenge of the Riddler. He hide 240 items through Arkham, theses should keep you entertained for a while! When you'll have complete the game you be able to play the Challenges. In some of them you'll have to beat hordes of ennemies comming at you and try to makes the most points you can. In others it will be some sneaking missions. There's also alot of Throphies to unlock in Batman Arkham Asylum.

I hope you'll enjoy the game as much as I did. 9/10

Army of Two is a game made for co-op play. In this game you always team up with a partner even when you play in single player mode. In single player, you're partner is an AI which means some problems like any game with AI controlled partners... Like sometimes when you get shot he'll run ahead leaving you behind dying instead of coming back for you. On the other hand playing the game in co-op with a friend is simply plain fun. The game really feels like it's been build from the ground for this and the mechanic of the game feels right.

-Gameplay-
The mission of the game are interesting with lots of time when you must play in co-op with you're partner. There's a lot of situations where you depends on you're buddy to advance or simply to survive! The controls of the game are great: Simple, quick and feels right.

-Graphics-
The graphics are pretty good. Even when you get a new armor, gun, gun upgrade or mask, it will show in the game wich makes the game more appealing to the eye. There's some flaws here and there, but nothing too bad.

-Sound-
The sound of the gunfight are really awesome in this game. If you can play this game on a sourround system, crank up the volume and you'll feel like you're in the war zone! The only flaw in this domain is when you're mission adviser talks to you in you're headset, it's sometime quite hard to hear what she says. I think they should've put the caption text in option in the game.

-Value-
The game has some nice bonus. When you complete mission objectives, you'll earn money. With this money you'll be able to buy armors, mask, guns and gun upgrades.So you can equip you're character with the kind of weapon you want depending on what kind of player you are. When you're done with the game, you can play online in co-op or versus mode. Sadly the multiplayer menu is pretty bad and most of the time you'll wait a long time before you find a game to play.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like vincedtm.
vincedtm must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could vincedtm possibly have for not rating a single film?
