Sony dates Killzone 2 for Europe

Sony has nailed down a solid release for Guerrilla Games’ hotly anticipated Killzone 2 in European territories, confirming a February 25 launch date for the PlayStation 3 exclusive shooter.
This puts the game on track slightly earlier than its North American counterpart, which arrives on February 27. Score one for PAL gamers, then.
Nonetheless, North American gamers will be able to bag themselves a fully playable demo of the title should you pre-order the title via Gamestop, while Europeans will be treated to the same demo at some point prior to the game’s release.
Developed by Guerrilla Games, Killzone 2 has consistently remained one of the PS3’s most anticipated titles since its debut at E3 2005 over three years ago. Featuring meticulously crafted visuals, visceral, action-packed gameplay and extensive multiplayer functionality, Killzone 2 is set to offer one of the most intense experiences on a home console thus far.
The game picks off following the events of the original title and its follow-up, Liberation, with players assuming control of ISA squad leader, Sev, as the unit mounts its crucial invasion of the planet Helghan, home to the notorious race known as the Helghast.
We’ll be putting the game under our review microscope some time early next month.

Ahaa
who's bragging?? the US does get alot of stuff before we do. im still waiting for my socom. u's probably will get all those games first but it will only go towards europeans feeling more left out. hence when something does come out first you get praises going up, as in the case of Killzone 2. theres no need to be so violent.
