[REVIEW] A Lot of Games, Volume 2, Part 4

Look familiar, right? You're looking at a series of six posts in the second volume where I gather

We're looking at a solid 24 games to be reviewed here. Be sure to brush up on the Review FAQ to make sure you understand my scoring before you whirl-up a bitch-fest.

My FPS skills were honed by Halo and Call of Duty, so I'm used to arcade-y style controls.

From the excerpt, this is what we get:

And the controls definitely feel different. They're faster and punchier, although [Managing Director of Guerrilla Games, Herman] Hulst won't comment on any specific changes that may have been made: "I'm confident that when Killzone 3 comes out we're going to have a set of controls that will really appeal to the vast majority of audiences. The heavy sensation of KZ2 is absolutely gone; instead, this feels much closer to standard run-and-gun responsiveness. Oh, and there's a constant temptation to get close enough to use the new...

Sorry, but the GOONL!NE thing covers up a particularly crucial word. Or not. I'm not sure.
