The Sony Bravia KDL-32EX720; a 32 inch, 1080p, LED-backlit 3D TV will be available locally around April.”

Speaking of the Move, Tim Hanlon for Gizmag reviewed Killzone 3 with the Move. “Move is by far the best controller yet…and turns Killzone 3 from a fantastic first-person shooter to the most immersive, visceral experience you’ll find on a console today.”

Killzone 3 coming to stores on Feb. 22nd, 2011
The Playstation Blog has announced that Killzone 3 will officially be released in stores next month.
“You’ve waited patiently for 2 years, but now the time has come to return to Helghan along with Sev, Rico, Narville and the rest of the surviving ISA. Killzone 3 has officially gone gold, and will be coming to stores on February 22nd, 2011″, writes Mike Graham.
Killzone 3 has already received a Mature rating by ESRB. And will be one of many Playstation titles released in 2011 that will be available in 3D.
According to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, “This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of interplanetary soldiers who must salvage mankind’s future. Players use electricity guns, pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers, and plasma grenades to destroy robot drones and enemy soldiers. Frenetic battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire and screams of pain; enemies emit large splashes of blood when shot. The game also depicts intense close-up attacks against enemies: snapping necks, slicing throats, stabbing or gouging eyes. Some weapons (e.g., boltgun and sniper rifle) can decapitate enemy soldiers with headshots, and one blood-splattered environment depicts severed human limbs. Language such as “f*ck” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.”
Here’s a look at the brand new story trailer that was released earlier this month.
