Only released on PlayStation 3, the original video game titled, “Killzone,” was one of the few hard sci-fi first-person shooter games that delivered the real-life feel of shooting an ak- 47, throwing grenades and actually making the player feel as if he or she was really in a war of the future. “Killzone 2” is to do just that and more.

With a new engine to improve both graphics and in-game animation sequences, fans can’t wait for this one-of-a-kind game, developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony released this February.

Wikipedia.com has the following information on this upcoming game:

“‘Killzone 2’…appears to take place entirely on Helghan, the home world of the Helghast, who invaded an Interstellar Strategic Alliance colony in previous ‘Killzone’ installments. Two years after the Helghast assault on Vekta, the ISA is taking the fight to the enemy’s home world of Helghan. The ISA goal is direct: capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, and bring the Helghast war machine to a halt. Assuming the role of Sev, a battle-hardened veteran and a member of the special forces unit known as the Legion, players will lead a group of highlytrained soldiers on a mission to take out the Helghast threat.”

“Killzone 2,” like its predecessors, is sure to “rock” the shooting game genre and impress both new and previous fans alike.

The game “Killzone 2” is rated M for Mature (ages 17 and up). For more information on its content, visit: http://www.us.playstation. com/PS3/Games/Killzone_2
