About

I'm an 18 year old kid from the UK currently studying graphic design in college, hoping to continue on to uni. I enjoy a lot of comedy shows such as Qi and Friends, as well as video games of course, such as: Half Life 2, Super Mario Galaxy and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

I currently own the following consoles:

PS3
Wii
PSP

Along with a bunch of games and I'm always up for some online co-op on PSN.

So, for those of you that didn't see it plastered all across the internet, OPM (Offical PLaystation Magazine) UK gave Killzone 2 a mighty 9 out of 10. I have managed to quickly glance through the review and from what I can make out there were a few gripes.

One being the weapon system. You can only carry one primary weapon and one secondary weapon at a time. Which means that there is no way you could carry, say, a shotgun and a sniper rifle at the same time. You could only carry a sniper rifle and a pistol. It seems a bit stingy if you ask me. Another complaint was the final boss. They said it was a little anti climactic, but from what they described it sounded pretty good to me.

Anyways, I shall be picking the game up at launch. I mean it can't be worse than Resistance 2 (which i traded in the other day for Mirror's Edge). Which I have already completed. It's a fantastic game with a few flaw but well worth spending your money on. My personal gripes were with the way the navigation was handled. For example, the first time through a level you have no idea where the hell you are supposed to go apart from a hint in the general direction by pressing the Circle/B Button. So a lot of time you'll be stopping to scan around where you have to go next, which completey brakes the flow of the game. Another gripe I have is the gimped combat, now, the gun play is pretty good but it would have been nice to see some combos or something for melee attacks as the combat usually feels very... hack and slash, but without the combos.

Anyways. This is random but you guys got any tips for conquering procrastination? I really need to get my graphics work done and I can't bring myself to do it.

Have a wank, get it out of the way, and you'll come to your senses. Productivity will follow.

I like the survival ethic of only having one primary weapon. I'll be interested to see how tricky it becomes making decisions on which guns to use.
Trusting a review from The Official Playstation Magazine about a Sony published game, is like trusting Microsoft when they first said there are no failure problems with the XBOX360. It's like believe the Sony CEO when he said that there is no rumble feature in the PS3 controllers because rumble is a thing of the past, and gamers don't want it anymore.
@SilverDrago,
You forgot the bit about how Nintendo says they still care about the "geeks & Kotaku" that make up their hardcore audience. I mean, Animal Crossing anyone?
@Silverdragon

I don't know how it works with the UK version but I know for a fact that The Official Playstation Magazine Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) aren't biased at all. If it's a turd they will tell you it's a turd. I'll send then an e-mail asking how it actually works with who pays their checks. I trust them and used to base all my purchases on their reviews. They've never let me down.
I have the NA version of PTOM and they game it 5 our 5 stars. I really do think this game will be great and receive some good criticism across the board. Also, You didn't like resistance 2? I like it a lot and I found it much better than Mirrors Edge. Dice did a great job with ME, but I have to many complaints for that game.
@Brainderailment
One of them must be me then. I wanted to finish it (single- and multi player) before I get my hands on Killzone 2. I don't think I'll manage that. The co-op is great though. I'm very impressed by how they done it. 61 co-op campaigns devided over 7 levels (I can be off on the number). I hope a lot of other games will implement co-op like that.
I am vary excited about this game, and as a huge Ghost Recon fan the weapon system sounds good and realistic. It is just way two clunky to run around with a .50 sniper rifle and an automatic shotgun.
R2 Co-op is awesome.
Traded R2 in for Mirror's Edge? facepalm...

I'm not that big of a fan but at least it's fun.

Anyway, Killzone 2 seems to be coming together very nicely. From both reviewers and gamers giving it positive feedback.
