The Dutch have spoken. They've seen Killzone 2, and they liked what they saw. So much so that the NVPI (Dutch Association of Producers and Importers of Image - and sound bearers) have decided that Netherlands-based Guerrilla Games' PS3 opus deserves a gold award.

According to New Media Manager, SCE Benelux, Dave Epke, it was impressive how Killzone 2 sales shot through the roof and was able to gain such numbers in one month alone, that other other titles would have gotten not until after a year of being out.

Congratulations, and we say that's an award well-deserved!

As a longtime (since 2003) Killzone fan, this is more great news for me. I always wanted to see an ironic shift for Guerilla. The media hyped KZ1 up as a Halo-killer, and the game was never designed as such. It released, and even though it received above average reviews universally, people hopped on the bangwagon saying it sucked even though these idiots never played it.

Anyways, good job Guerilla. Can't wait for the next installments.

it deserves it, i mean there is no other fps out there that has such detail, strategy, n thought put into it. however i also think ps3 games r under rated. i mean we got games like uncharted,resis tance, n even MGS4 that somehow flew under the medias radar, n u got games on other consoles selling more n sucking waay more. i think that people need to be apreciated for their work and effort. not for putting ***** together calling it a sequal n making big bucks cuz of advertisements, ye u know who im talking about. so i say keep giving GG awards because they have raised the bar for good games, n thats good 4 us!

Grrrr, can't we have just ONE Killzone topic where Halo isn't mentioned? ;)

Anyway, whilst KZ2 is very good (with awesome graphics :D), I don't agree that "no other fps out there that has such detail, strategy, n thought put into it". KZ2's biggest achievement was the graphics imo, which is thanks to the time and budget put into the game, but as a fps, it really doesn't break new ground (but it is an excellent base to build the series upon).

The reward is deserved, but this is a Dutch organisation awarding a Dutch developer, so I think they would be more inward looking than out. But I expect KZ2 to pick up more awards in future, which would be interesting.

Personally, my fingers are crossed for 'real' multi-vehicle support in KZ3.
