Obviously, what takes the cake is Microsoft’s claim on that “something better than Killzone 2“.Personally, I find it highly curious how they can top K2. I have yet to pick it up, I admit, but from what I’ve seen thus far, it really is impressive.

And like what Isaac said, it would sure be interesting to see how MS is gonna pull off a game like K2, and even better than it, given the established fact that the Xbox 360 has more limitations compared to the PS3.

It would definitely be awesome if they put out something that could rival K2. While there are definitely a lot of credible titles out on the Xbox 360 now (and still more to come), the last title that I really, really, really got hyped up about would be Halo 3.

Time to roll out a new poster boy, Xbox 360.

Can’t wait.
