CoD4: Modern Warfare was/is a fantastic game, it didn't earn the Game of the Year (2007) title for nothing. This new version promises to be another masterpiece, even if it turns out to be more of same, it will still be an awsome experience. But knowing the people at Infinity Ward, I'm sure they will improve on their previous achievement. From what I have seen already in the teaser trailers, it already looks amazing!!
What's great about it: There's not enough space to mention all

Having played the demo I can honestly say that this is truly an elite game and one the crown jeweles of SCE and the PS3. Most of the sites and magazines from the biz have already agreed that Killzone 2 definitely lives up to the hype it created for itself, and that's saying a lot when you are talking about this game, for those who saw the trailer from E3 in 2005 know what I'm talking about. If Sony plays it's cards right this will surely be the system seller it has been desperatly needing. Alreday it has the nomination for game of the year, KZ2 is the game to own if you have a PS3 and if you don't, it's the reason to get one.
I know this makes me sound like a fanboy, but so be it, this game deserves it's props!!

I played the Demo recently, and have to say that this game looks awsome graphics wise, great soundtrack and sound effects. The story seems intriguing enough, it's certanly a change from the usual Raccoon City setting, although I didn't find it as scary as the previous RE games. Of course that is subjective and also I only played two levels. A tip of the hat goes to the partner AI, Sheva is really helpful and can certanly handle herself very well, you never feel like you have to be watching her health or getting her out of jams, quite the contrary! She's right there watching your back and giving you health boosts when needed.
My only gripes are with the games controls and camera movement, it's not that they are bad, they just take some getting used to, but coupled with a bad camera makes it even harder, you can't run and fire, and just running while controlling the camera is near imposible.
The co-op is a lot of fun online and off, overall the game looks really good and certanly worth checking it out, if you are a fan of the RE series than you have to get RE5.
What's great about it: Graphics, story, outstanding AI
