killzone 3 playstation game review
A lot of games can place you in first person and put a gun in your virtual fingers, but few of them manage to make you feel like you’re in the shoes of a person, that you’re more than just a moving camera.
It’s this idea that separates a run of the mill first-person shooter from what I like to think of as a first-person experience. And Killzone 3, Sony’s latest PlayStation 3 exclusive, is definitely the latter. Every action you do in Killzone is immersive; the combat more intense and savage than other shooters. It’s this design that makes Killzone 3 so engrossing and fun despite its weak story. With the fantastic pacing and set pieces in the campaign, along with the improved, fun multiplayer, Guerilla’s crafted a must own for PS3 shooting enthusiasts.
Killzone 3 is all about a war between two factions of humans. On one side, we have the ISA, the good guys with human faces; on the other side are the Helghast, the red-goggled, mask-wearing enemies who are hell bent on subduing the rest of the universe. Killzone 3 picks up right where two left off, with a small group of ISA soldiers struggling to survive after being effectively cut off and left on the hostile Helghan homeworld. Throughout it all, you play as Sev, the returning hero from the second game, who is out to do as much damage to the enemy as he can before he’s caught, killed or rescued.

I won’t spoil the story, but I was disappointed with where it went and how uninteresting it was. Killzone 3 jumps around in time regularly, constructing a narrative that gives a good reason to explore different parts of the Helghast homeworld, but it’s not engaging. In general, the story feels like an afterthought, like it was figured out after the team planned out a series of cool levels and were forced to figure out a way to tie them altogether. It would have been nice to see Guerilla explore the themes of hopelessness as the ISA struggle to survive in hiding on a hostile planet, but instead Killzone 3 basically glosses over this with a quick fade out and a cut scene. This liberal use of fading between scenes, along with the occasional hiccup when loading, broke me out of the experience repeatedly, exacerbating the generally boring story.
The characters of Killzone are one-dimensional. From our hero, Sev, to the evil Helghast leaders, you pretty much have their personalities pinned from the first moment they swagger onto the screen. The interplay between characters is totally predictable, and we’re never given a view of the complex dynamics we might expect out of soldiers at war or a moment of pause or regret about how things play out. Unlike Captain Templar from the original Killzone, there are no likeable characters in Killzone 3. Sure, they’re charming in a brutish fashion, but Sev and the rest of the ISA feel more like unthinking meatheads than soldiers dealing with a life or death situation and a feeling of abandonment. They just aren’t people you can identify with in any significant way.
Yes, it looks this good.
Story and characters aside, Killzone 3 succeeds as a superb first-person shooter. Guerilla has once again proven that they know how to make the most visceral feeling first-person combat on the market. The controls are considerably tighter than they were in two, but I love how everything you do in Killzone 3 still feels like there’s momentum behind it. From climbing ladders to running to slamming into cover, Killzone 3 makes you feel like your character is grounded in the world around him. Even shooting feels more real thanks to the weight and swing of the weapon – but not at the cost of overly floaty controls.
Killzone 3 also does a nice job at breaking up the levels between sections where you’re on foot, and where you’re kicking ass in a super powered vehicle. While the entire game is very linear, Guerilla’s done a great job at varying what you’re doing just enough from moment to moment to keep you from seeing behind the curtain too much. Each skirmish is so intense, and so visually satisfying, that I’m often too engrossed to think about the story or how I’m being funneled in a very specific direction.
Hidden Facts About Pakistan
When people mention Pakistan, they are usually not overwhelmed with the fact that is known to be a great Muslim nation. However, who could ever think that this country is home to the best things that the world has ever known? Being unpopular, seeing this list will make people wonder if this country can become one of the many powers that will arise in the near future.
10. Ninth Largest English Speaking Country
Literacy is one of the most powerful tools that can be used in a world that is dominated by English speakers. People in Pakistan has made this endeavor to be one of their best, as their efforts have taken fruit, even being recognized within the top 10. They may have Urdu for their native language, but they also use the said dialect when outside globalized activities and practices, in order to protect the clients and the integrity of their international relationship with others.
9. Seventh Largest Armed Forces
This can be very surprising as Pakistan is not even a Superpower to begin with, but its number-standing people in the service are very convincing. As of 2010, the actual number of working personnel in the Army, Navy, or Air Force, is about 617,000 personnel. This does not even include 513,000 reserved military people that have showed intent in joining, and the 304,000 that have been added in the paramilitary forces. In short, you can expect about 1,451,000 soldiers when there is need for national security.
8. Seventh Largest Pool of Scientists
And everyone else thought that Pakistan is just a country that lies near the desert, and in other close national locations such as India. It can be surprising to know that they have one of the largest pools of the most knowledgeable and intelligent people. One of the most noted is Ali Moeen Nawazish, who has been known in the Guinness Book of World Records for clearing 23 subjects with an A-Mark on 21 of these subjects in the Cambridge Exams.
7. Fifth Largest Gold Mine
Gold is known to be one of the most expensive metals the world has known. With this material abundant in Pakistan, even known to have one of the biggest gold mine reserves all over the globe, it has caught the attention everywhere. The Reko Diq Balochistan Gold Reserves actually values at a staggering amount of over $100 billion, even just with the surface value alone, without deeper resources. Despite the fact that Reko Diq is a small town, not even worth the interest, it becomes a star thanks to the 12.3 million tons of copper and 20.9 million ounces of gold, under its dunes.
6. Second Highest Peak
People have been too familiar with the world’s highest peak, which is Mount Everest. However, did anyone ask what number the second highest peak is, and where it can be found? Most people do not even realize that K2 is actually located in Pakistan, which has a peak of 28,251 feet. Also known as the Mountaineer’s Mountain, this natural feat has been dared by so many aspirants of conquering it, being visited by mountaineers and climbers coming from many nations in the world. Due to its high fatality rate, the said mountain is never dared in winter.
5. Second Largest Salt Mine
Pakistan has the second largest salt mine in the world, namely the Khewra Salt Mines, which is located in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab. It has an underground area that measures 110 square kilometers, which comes next after the salt mine located in Goderich, Ontario, Canada that extends 14kms under Lake Huron. Because of the fame it clamors all over the world, the said mine has been converted into a tourist resort in 1872, and has been attracting visitors of up to 40,000 every year due to salt formations with colors of white, pink, red, to brownish red.
4. A Muslim Woman Head of State
In a country that lives in a religion that most males lead, Benazir Bhutto is considered to be the world’s first female Head of State, being the 11th Prime Minister of Pakistan from October 19, 1993 to November 5, 1996. She also carried other roles such as being the sixth leader of the opposing forces for the government, 17th Finance Minister, and 18th Defense Minister.
3. Tree Planting Record Holder
In pursuit of a better world, Pakistanis have united for a cause wherein over 300 volunteers, working in groups, have been given mangrove saplings and planted them in the 750-acre part of the Indus River’s delta region. In just one day, the whole team was able to plant over 541,176 trees, while the previous titleholder, India, was only able to plant 447,874 saplings, which is also a very high number. The World Wildlife Fund, along with Guinness Book of World Records have seen the event and confirmed the count by the end of the day. This environmental effort, along with the notable numbers, was recognized, giving Environment Minister Hameed Ullah Jan Afridi of the title, “Leaders of the Planet”.
2. Best IT Infrastructure
Imagine that Superpowers like the US and the UK are actually toppled with the IT Infrastructure of Pakistan. They are holding titles for the world’s largest biometric database, the biggest WiMAX network, and the most aggressive FTTH rollout efforts, resulting to having one of the places in the world that has the lowest costs for data, internet, and cellular data services.
1. Home to Two of the World’s Youngest Microsoft Certified Professionals
As a mark of intelligence being held by the country, Pakistan is actually home of two of the world’s youngest Microsoft Certified Professionals, namely Arfa Karim and Babar Iqbal. Both individuals have received the said certification by the age of 9, and both were recognized in the world, thanks to media and online articles. One of Arfa’s noted appearances was when she attended the November 2006 Microsoft Tech-Ed Developers’ Conference in Barcelona.

Best Christmas Gifts for Teens.
Teens also deserve some gifts this holiday season, giving regard to their effort in doing well in school or being just good kids overall. You may have some ideas in mind, but if you want to give what can be best for their interest, then looking on this list can make you hit one or two stuffs that they would really love to die for.
10. Books
Since the Twilight Saga is over and so with Harry Potter, teens, especially bookworm guys and witty ladies, are still into looking for a good read that can engage them with exciting and romantic plots, characters, and scenarios. You can choose a good book online, while relying on some reviews. You can give them a real book that they can hold, or just purchase an eBook that can be downloaded on their readers or mobile phones and computers.
9. Clothes
Autumn and winter fashion is being eyed by most teens, especially female ones, in thinking of looking trendy while enjoying the yuletide season. They may be into Google in search of some fantastic items, clothes, shoes, bags, and other stuff, but they would really appreciate it if they would not have to shell out so much money for the things they want. Know what they really like and buy it for them. They will be too excited to even wait for the day when they would want to strut their stuff.
8. Watches
Timepieces, over time, have looked trendier, cooler, and even more adaptable in the mood, feel, and personality of the individual who wears it. We are no longer just talking about watches that are made of metals or classic leather straps, although the purpose of the gift is apparent. There are now varying styles to choose from, with prices ranging from dirt cheap to way expensive.
7. Pets
What can be a better gift than an additional responsibility in the form of pets? You can select pets in a large variety of groups. Dogs and cats are very common but is a classic in this category. However, to make things even more enjoyable for them, making them start from the beginning, particularly giving them a puppy, kitty, a fingerling, or something small should engage them in taking care of their pet buddies even more.
6. Digital Camera
With most teens being too attached with their online social networking life, whether it may be guys or gals, having a digital camera for the holidays can make them capture more photos than ever, and loving every second of using it. They can upload these photos to their Facebook pages or have their collections stored in a digital photo frame in the house.
5. Gift Cards
If you really cannot decide on what you should give to them, then one great suggestion is to make them decide for themselves, making them feel that they can have any gift for their own, as long as it fits on the price on the gift card. They can buy any item they want at their own pace and budget.
4. Earphones
Audiophiles and not-so-passionate music lovers are now into the hype of getting their own sets of earphones in enjoying their favorite tracks either from their mobile phones or from mp3 players. Aside from Skull Candy headphones, other tasty selections include stereo Bluetooth headphones, and a rocking set of earphones from Beats by Dr. Dre, Heartbeats by Lady Gaga, or Justbeats by Justin Bieber. This accessory is perfect for those who have hoodies or for those who just want to spend some quality time with their preferred songs.
3. Video Games
We may be talking about consoles like Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, or XBox 360, or handhelds like Nintendo 3DS or PSVita. But whatever unit you purchase, what really matters are the games that you will purchase. This year, most teens would like to explore new music and tunes while playing Guitar Hero World Tour or Rock Band 2. Male teens may still prefer playing some RPGs or Sports Games, which available all year long.
2. Cellular Phones
Android, Windows, iOS, and BlackBerry OS; these are the best three options to begin with. From there, you may plan of getting new cellphone plans from telecoms where phones, calling minutes, and data plans are included. You may give some of the most anticipated devices for the holidays in 2011, or even the most coveted once being released recently, such as the Motorola Droid RAZR, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, HTC Rezound, Nokia Lumia 800, LG Optimus 3D, BlackBerry Torch 9810, and the iPhone 4S.
1. Computers
Desktops and laptops, who will not want this kind of gift this holiday season? After all, this is one equipment that is now considered as a necessity these days as it does not only cater for games, music, and social networking, but it also shoulders burdensome tasks like doing research, book reports, or term papers. A few suggestions that come into mind, just in case you do have the money are the Apple iMac 2011 Spring Edition, MacBook Air Summer 2011 Edition, Toshiba Portege R835-P70, Dell Inspiron 14z, and the Samsung Series 7.
