In the UK, Official PlayStation Magazine has hit WH Smith shelves around the country, bringing with it one of the first print reviews of Killzone 2. The special magazine, with a “highly collectible” shiny holographic wallet is said by OPM EiC Tim Clarke to match the “visual voodoo” of the hot PS3 exclusive. As you can tell, this special alliance with Sony is sure to bring an impartial review to the table.
“Killzone 2 has been a long time in the making, and best showcases why PlayStation 3 is the only console powerful enough to deliver a ground-breaking title of this nature,” says Sony UK PR Manager David Wilson, sounding like a Sony UK PR Manager. “Who better to partner with than the Official PlayStation Magazine, in order to offer the readers a special collectors edition issue. It’s a great way to celebrate the launch of this milestone game.”
Looks like Official PlayStation Magazine is the place to be for an uncolored review that Sony had nothing to do with. I jest, but I must confess my own jealousy. I wish Destructoid came in a “highly collectible” shiny holographic wallet. Where’s our visual voodoo, Sony!?
The hype train for Killzone 2 is going to be steaming through February from here on out, so expect to be hearing even more about it around the Blogocube. We’re patiently waiting for our review copy and will give you the full skinny — holographic cover or not — as soon as we can.
