Im not reffering to the bbc but all you who didnt get the sypnosis, the broadcast was reffering to Mature rating games and citing Halo as one of them, the footge for Killzone 2 was just in reference to it been a violent game, like later on they showed p1ss sports when talking about family games

apparently at Playstation forum, many of them reported that BBC 6 o'clock news shown Killzone 2 instead of Halo 3. Yep it is true.

Very funny though. Way to go, BBC! keep promoting Killzone 2 even though it is not out yet. ;)

This definately gives you the perspective of the European market. The 360 and Halo isn't everything in Europe. You blind U.S. 360 fans might learn something after watching this.

Just kidding of course, but it shows how much the mainstream press knows of video games, even though it could be just a mistake hehe. The footage of Killzone wasn`t that long either.

25 - I can confirm this is true.

When i was watching channel 503 bbc news ON sky i saw it, i thought why or they showing Killzone 2 trailer and they are talking about Halo 3 and they didn,t even mention Killzone 2.

They funny thing is they didn,t mention killzone 2 or Playstation 3 not a word.

Either its a mistake or uses Killzone 2 footage for Halo3 story.

i just watched 10 o'clock BBC news.

For first time ever, i saw a gameplay of Halo 3. I played both Halo 1 and 2 and this Halo 3 is exactly the same! Just a hint of High definition. Why bother paying for something similar.

Killzone 2 has changed from Killzone 1 and i will certainly get that game instead.

Sorry folks, Halo 3 is not for me.

29.1 - it's an

insult to Halo to be compared to killzone. Can you imagine the disappointment of the person seeing gameplay footage of kz2 and the guy pressing a button for half an hour. Also read the reviews on killzone 1 and showed that it sucked ass. Hopefully he'll notice how much that big shiny monster with the fuel tanks rips off from Bioshock's Big Daddy :-O.

Just Joking :-)

This just shows how out of touch the media is with games. television and newspapers view games as something little boys play with, a passing fad that will disapear and then they get a bee in there bonnet when someting like gta comes out. I quote 'the wii has been outselling these shoot em up games'. a wii is a console, a shoot em up a game...retards.
I remember them saying some time ago that gran turismo was agreat game on the nintendo 64.
The media needs to catch up. Its still in the stone age.

35 - i just got halo3 and you know what i think

If you want awesome graphics and a some pretty good story get bioshock.
but if you want awesome story and pretty good graphics get halo3.

both games are recommended for fps vets and beginners.

and if your not in to both of the franchises it's fine.

i own both and i feel happy that the waiting is over i can now spend the holidays with my friends and family playing halo3, bioshock,gears of war,lost planet, and other good titles.
