my desire for the game has nothing to do with reviews, and everything to do with Bethesda's previous work. coincidentally, even though i'm getting the 360 version, i would like to hear what Bethesda has to say about how some reviewers (gamespot, for instance) are saying the PS3 version is graphically lacking compared to the 360 and PC. kinda strange considering PS3's Oblivion was superior to everything except a high-end PC.
PS360 owner here. i agree with some of what you said (basically that Gears 2 will probably be the highest selling game this year's end), but on the whole i disagree. 360 has Gears 2, Fable 2 and L4D. on sheer numbers (discounting arcade games on XBL and PSN), PS3 simply has more exclusives this year. one of those is from a multimillion selling, well established franchise (Socom Confrontations), two are sequels to games that sold 3 million+ on a limited install base (Resistance 2 and Motorstorm Pacific Rift), and the other is a game that's received more hype than any other game this generation (LittleBigPlanet). on a game per game basis Gears 2 will probably sell the most out of any game (including Fable 2), but still, at this point in the generation it's asinine to say that PS3's exclusives won't compete.
these are factual numbers. saying which system has the BEST exclusives is arbitrary. personally i'm waiting on Gears 2 and Fable 2 more than any other exclusive, but PS3 does have more exclusives that i'm waiting on (pretty much all the aforementioned games, plus Valkyria Chronicles and Wipeout HD...which i hope comes out this year).
PS2's hardware overrated? the system's best looking games were exclusives that soundly competed with Gamecube's best, and even some of XBox's. i too think it's time to retire the system, but i'll in no way degrade it's legacy by calling any facet of it overrated.
in any event, about the only thing that surprises me on this particular "Best of" list is the absence of Fallout 3. not necessarily that it's my personal most awaited game, just that it's gotten so much hype from various media sources. would've been cool to see the list broken down by genres and catagories (best graphics, music, technology etc); but still, i never really placed much stock in this stuff anyway. with the exception of LittleBigPlanet and Mirror's Edge, my absolute most awaited games (Resident Evil 5, Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Rock Band 2, inFamous, WKC and Dead Space) don't even appear on this list.
Network now...

"The first thing to point out, however, is that the things people didn’t like about Killzone on PlayStation 2 are still in evidence. There’s no jump."
i could've sworn i've read a few previews that state how jumping was one of the welcome additions made to Killzone 2. *scratches heads*
