Killzone 2, the hot looking PS3 exclusive that is totally gray, apparently isn’t gray. Responding to accusations thatKillzoneis as dull as ditchwater, game directorMathijs de Jongehas promisedthat the game has some colors in it. “The first images that we released were just from one level that was still in early production, and I can assure you that the final game has a very rich and varied color palette – and still manages to maintain that gritty and realistic look and feel,” he assures....

Sony’s worst-kept secret, the upcoming release ofKillzone 3, has apparently been blown wide open in thelatest issueofGamePro. 3D effects, deeper melee combat and JETPACKS are all said to be part of the shenanigans this time around. The jetpacks are a huge part ofKillzone 3, according to the reports. They can be used as weapons by both the player and the Helghast, with the enemies apparently blowing up like “Roman candles” if shot....

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walkerwas recently delayed, and Hideo Kojima is not a happy little elf. Apologizing to his fans, the eccentric director has claimed there is no greater crime than a delayed game, and demonstrates that he takes this postponement very seriously indeed. “I always preach to the staff, ‘You must not have a delay after a release date has been announced. There is no greater crime as a game developer,” he writes....

I would think that Capcom Japan’s marketing team would have an idea as to just how bad of an idea it is to label anMREas “Biohazard” — theyhaveto know what it means in English, right? After all these years? These luncheon packets are part ofa promotional planfor the upcomingBiohazard: Degenerationfilm on DVD/Blu-ray and UMD. Yep, they’re still trying to push UMDs over there. Health concerns be damned, Capcom is selling these MRE packets in stores like Tsutaya and Matsuzakaya, but only in limited locations and for a short period of time....

What ya think? It’s called “Failure of the Playstation 3” and at first I thought it was a response to the announcement Sony made Wednesday the 6th, regarding the delay in Europe and the cut back in shipments here in the States. Check out the postFronzdid for deets on that. But I noticed it was added to YouTube on Tuesday the 5th. What’s it mean?… what’s the significance?… I DON’T KNOW!...

Lost in Shadowlooks like a pretty cool guy. It’s a platformer from Hudson in which a boy’s shadow climbs a tower. He has to walk along other shadows, aided by Spangle the Sylph who can change light sources to create new shadowy paths for our silhouetted hero. That’s cool, right? Well, we’ll find out just how good the game is on July 22, won’t we? That’s when it comes to North America....

Majesco previously publishedJAWS Unleashedfor PlayStation 2 and Xbox back in 2006 where it was met withlukewarm reviews.

The 3DS version ofJAWS: Ultimate Predatoris being developed by n-Space, the studio responsible for the brilliant 2006 gameGeist....

The box art forMario Galaxy 2features no “UR MR GAY” chicanery, but it does feature some hot plumber-on-dinosaur action! Apparently a man can get lonely in space. We’re not here to judge Nintendo’s lovable mascot, but perhaps he should see a therapist? Still, it looks like a mutually beneficial coupling. In fact, Yoshi appears to be dreamily sighing with approval as Mario violently and cheerfully thrusts his mushroom up the reptile’s warp pipe....

Tee Fury’s latest 24-hour shirt shows a gamer entering the dark world ofSuper Mario. But among the darkness, there is always light and in the case of thisTee Fury shirt, it glows in the dark! This is the very first glow in the dark shirt from Tee Fury and it’s only going for $9. I like the bosses glowing in the dark, but I’m not a fan of the central figure....

If there is one thing nice about lawyers its that they’ll speak the truth if it means it can win them the case, even if that truth has a companies PR team grinding their teeth down to nothing. Recently Microsoft began toban the use of third party memory cardsand other accessories on the 360, the announcement of which prompted a lawsuit from Datel Design & Development who make such things as memory cards and controllers for the 360....

With some stores going absolutely overboard with the whole releasingModern Warfare 2before Tuesday thing, it’s not surprising to hear that the retail PC versions of the game will not be playable,according to 1UP, until the official launch date.
