This week in gaming: Glowing red eyes

After this week’s megaton that was Street Fighter 4, next week is shaping up equally impressive with 2 high profile releases on both console fronts.

KILLZONE 2 will take PLAYSTATION 3 owners into the thick of the invasion of Helghan. Quite frankly, this could be the shooter of the year so if you own a PS3 and are somewhat into shooters, you would do yourself a huge disservice if you didn’t pick this one up. Gorgeous graphics, an engaging single-player experience and the best multiplayer since Call of Duty 4 more than warrant a purchase of this title.
Keep in mind to make sure your PS3 doesn’t explode from teh awesome.

HALO WARS for the Xbox 360 on the other hand is not a shooter, eventhough the Halo name does suggest shooting excellence, this title excells in a different area. The last game from Ensemble Studios takes the much beloved franchise into the realtime strategy genre. The demo should be proof that this game is a resounding success in gameplay and production values. Check out our preview here.

Safe to say that you can’t go wrong with either game. That is, if you will not sink all next week into practicing your focus cancels and Shoryukens.
