News Is The Original Killzone Coming To PlayStation 3?
The Killzone franchise didn't really make its mark until the PS3 came along
While the original PlayStation 2 title was dubbed as Sony's "Halo killer" at the time, the final product ultimately fell short. Sure, the PlayStation Portable spin-off, Killzone: Liberation, remains one of the best entries in the series — but it wasn't until...

News Guerrilla Confirms Split-Screen Co-Op For Killzone 3
Killzone 3 is a stupidly pretty PlayStation 3 game, but in justifying just how much Guerrilla's pushing the PlayStation 3 with their lastest title, Herman Hulst has outed the game's split-screen co-op
Speaking in an interview with 1Up about the technical specifications of Killzone 3, Hulst accidentally detailed the much demanded feature: "We...
News Bloody Nora: This Is What Killzone Looked Like Before It Was Killzone
Killzone is one of the biggest exclusive franchises in Sony's arsenal
But it hasn't always been. Back in 1999, Guerrilla Games created a concept video for their first meeting with Sony. The video, which Hulst believes showed off the studio's "technical competence" practically has nothing to do with the Killzone we know now; but it marked...
News Killzone 2 Wins Ivor Novello Award For Its Amazing Soundtrack
