This week in gaming: Glowing red eyes [Comments Off]

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.

I hope you have been practicing your hadoukens, as Street Fighter IV is about to hit this week, depending on where you live you may either pick it up on tuesday (US) or friday (EU). Early reports indicate that you can’t go wrong with either version of this modern classic. Cammy ftw!

Also on tuesday is, and I can hardly contain my excitment over this one, GTA IV Lost and the Damned. The first expansion to a game that took ages to grow on me but when it did, it shrouded everything else in irrelevance. 1600 Microsoft Points, 2 Gigs of hard-drive space and an original copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 for Xbox 360 are needed for this one.

Also, I am going to implement a comment system this week. Just so you know: Civil discussions are always welcome, but if you are going to be a dick and resort to calling names, I will ban your ass.
