The first one was infamously dubbed a Halo-killer. The second gave the PlayStation faithful something impressive to hang on to when pickings were slim in the FPS genre. And Killzone 3 remains one of the only games that truly delivered on the promise of 3D gaming, layering its graphics so that it looked like you playing through a sci-fi diorama of death.

Last week, Guerrilla Games released a report on the studio's PlayStation 4 reveal demonstration, which had people playing a real-time demo of the new Killzone game. It's mostly super-technical, but there's still enough interesting stuff in there for regular folk to get something out of.

Andrejs Skuja works at Killzone developers Guerilla Games, where he's currently a senior concept artist specialising in character design.

This week, Sony announced a new experiment in free-to-play gaming coming to the Playstation Network, in their most recent Blogcast podcast.

It's funny, considering Killzone 2 was so bleak, Killzone 3 remains one of, if not the best-looking game on the PS3, an explosion of vibrant colours and, amazingly given the franchise, style.

The Killzone series may be mired in darkness and a convoluted storyline, but one thing that always keeps me coming back to the games is their industrial design.

Now that Killzone 3 players can get online and kill each other once again, Guerrilla Games and Sony gives them incentive to do so in the form of a double XP weekend running now through 10AM UK time Monday morning.

The escalating conflict between the ISA and the Helghast plays out on a much smaller scale in Killzone Universe, a live-action short that shows a friendship torn apart by impending war.

Killzone and Killzone 2 were drab, bleak affairs. Killzone 3, on the other hand, dared to add a little colour to the series, a decision that paid off in the end.

Events like last weekend's PAX East lend themselves to video game crossovers you'd never see outside of real life.

Few video games deal with the touchy subject of religion seriously. When they do, they often deal with the more fantastical outlying bits of different faith systems, like last year's Dante's Inferno, or the upcoming El Shaddai: Rise of the Metatron. Rarely do we see games that hunker down and deal with real questions of faith and the questions that surround faith.

This short fan film, by YouTube user pwnisher, isn't a piece of sponsored Killzone 3 marketing. But it's so impressive it could easily pass as one.

Killzone 3 is at its best when it's most unrecognisable.

With two different ways to play and a special peripheral specifically designed for motion control, Sony spokes model Kevin Butler couldn't cover all of Killzone 3 in just one ad, so he did two.

In first-person shooter Killzone 3, the Helghast are the gas-mask wearing baddies. Cloaked in black and with glowing eyes, you wouldn't want to meet one on the street. And in Munich, Germany, you won't.

The Commando helps people lose weight on The Biggest Loser. I don't really know if he is a real commando. He looks hard, I guess. Today, however, he's being relatively friendly - inviting people to enter a competition for Killzone 3. The Prize? The chance to fly to Sydney and play Killzone 3 in 3D before its release.

You've made a first-person shooter. Who better to hawk it than somebody who really likes first-person shooters. Somebody like Noa.

Sleeping can be fun - necessary even. But what if stuff happens when you're sleeping - game stuff? What are you supposed to to do then? Thankfully we have a solution - While You Were Sleeping, a quick round up of all the news that happened… while you were sleeping.

There is something deeply satisfying about relying on a steady hand, not agile thumbs, to win a gun battle in a graphically stunning world.
