Welcome back. You’re a regular here, so why not follow us on Twitter too…It’s just over a year since Killzone 2 landed on the PS3, and brought with it the best graphics we had ever …

Digital Battle has formulated a list of the top ten most expensive game budgets of all time, proving that this generation of gaming is by far the most expensive ever.

There are five titles representing PS3 on the list through Killzone 2, L.A. Noire, Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Theft Auto IV. With a budget of 100 million dollars, Grand Theft Auto IV is way ahead at the top. Final Fantasy XII is the only representative from the PS2 era listed.

There’s a certain tension in the air here at Attitude Towers. The normally carefree (or slightly bizarre in the case of Danny_D) banter has been replaced by hushed, worried whispers.

You see, there are Kittens in the Tower today. This generally wouldn’t be any cause for concern – kittens are cute right?

But these kittens have a penchant for shooting, and routinely sharpen their claws – step forward the Kamikaze Kittens.

Guerrilla Games will be celebrating with champagne and cake on the 26th because they will be celebrating the fifth birthday of Killzone. Sure, the game was released on November 2nd in the US but the team is based in the Netherlands so they celebrate the European release. Time to bring out the candles!

In celebration, Guerrilla Games wants to invite fans to the party. Here are some of the activities they have planned:

We haven’t done one of these in a long time. The very first ‘Beat The Team’ column debuted about six months ago to highlight our very first Killzone 2 clan match. Back then we scored a perfect 7-0 score, securing our first clan win. Since that glorious evening we built a 2-2 Killzone 2 online record.

Now is the time for a PS3A Killzone comeback. A reboot of the clan if you will. Our first match of the new season was upon us, and the opposing clan was primed and ready to go. Will history repeat itself?

Welcome back to another Homerun PlayStation fans! This week we will be giving more news and views on all the new content for PlayStation Home that has arrived in Europe and North America.

In an unusual turn of events, content for Sony’s biggest game this year so far is arriving in North America nearly two months after Europe. We are so used to seeing it being the other way round, although we would rather everyone got it at the same time.

PS3 Attitude is more than a website; we’re an entire movement dedicated to raising funds for charities. The more visitors we get, the more money we make – and we give it all away.

So in addition to what you see here, you’ll find us all over the Internet, spreading the word.

Here’s a quick guide to how you can get more involved with the site, have some fun and win prizes along the way.

Oh, and then there’s the whole Killzone 2 Clan thing…

From Friday at 17:30 GMT until Monday morning at 09:00, soldiers taking to the battlefield of Helghan will enjoy double XP for their hard work mowing down Helghast/ISA scum.

Speaking over at the official US blog, Guerrilla’s Sebastian Downie has some information of how the limited time points bonanza will work.

Guerrilla Studios have announced a brand new bundle releasing today called with the original name of the ‘Map Pack Bundle’ . This bundle combines all three Killzone 2 map packs together for an undisclosed discounted price.

One of the map packs included also releases today and that’s the Napalm & Cordite expansion.

In November 2008 Joris de Man took Killzone 2 to Abbey Road. He asked independent producers Open Book to document his experience and in the film Joris tells us how he has made the music for Killzone over the years.

Learn where in the world the Helghast March was born, the somewhat unusual instruments used in the Killzone 2 score and the amazing talent behind it all. Don’t think that the lengthy history of the famed Abbey Road Studio is lost on Joris or the team involved in the recording process, in fact it was a source of inspiration and drive for everyone involved.

Killzone – as you all no doubt know by now – is about to get the next round of DLC air-dropped in by the affable peeps over at Guerilla Games.

The 1.28 update is pretty much all about the upcoming map pack.

In fact, it is almost exclusively about the map pack. Note we say ‘almost’.

The third downloadable content for the highly acclaimed Killzone 2 game has been announced on the Official PlayStation US blog.

“Napalm and Cordite” is the name of the pack and not only are there two brand new maps included, you can also play with the new flamethrowers and bolt guns.

The Homerun is back to give you another dosage of PlayStation Home goodness. We’re delighted to say that there is a lot of new content for everyone this week!
We’ll start this time with the massive European update. As we have said countless times before, we are big fans of Killzone 2 and so were really happy when Sony announced that a Visari Throne room apartment for PlayStation Home.

E3 is not just about the video games and booth babes. There’s much more to it than that, after all, you can’t hear that sneaky Helghast sneak up without a decent surround sound system or execute a perfect head shot in Call of Duty 4 with simply a Dualshock 3? Sure, it can get the job done but you want to be the best out there, don’t you?

We had the chance to try out Tritton Technologies latest surround sound headset, the AX Pro, which brings the ultimate listening experience straight to your ears. In addition, we also tested SplitFish’s FragFX controller designed specifically for the PS3.

This week on the Homerun we discuss the end of the Xi reality game in PlayStation Home, as well as a Killzone 2 apartment.

So let’s dive in! The big news this week is an end to an era – Xi has finished…

It’s a while ago now when we first heard about Killzone 2 getting its own taste of PlayStation Home, but we have heard no details on what it is exactly until now.

Guerrilla Games have posted a post on the European PlayStation Blog to announce a Killzone 2 Visari Throne Room apartment is coming to Sony’s virtual universe.

Killzone 2 has now been updated and next time you boot the game you should see a message telling you to download the latest patch.

You may remember that this patch was originally scheduled for last Thursday, then we heard that it had been delayed, well now the patch has seen the light of day.

We reported last week that Helghan exiles keen on some new Killzone 2 updates would enjoy a patch on Thursday. Sometimes even reliable sources slip up as the 1.27 Killzone 2 patch did not go live when expected.

It’s tweak time for the Killzone 2 community as Eric Boltjes, Guerrilla’s Lead Multiplayer Designer, talks to the Official US Blog about what Helghan and ISA soldiers alike can expect from the latest update.

Showing an unrivaled commitment to keeping their groundbreaking game as fresh and fair as possible, Guerilla have more than a few important fine-tunings up their electronic sleeves.

The North American Video Store has sported a ‘Search’ feature ever since its debut at last year’s E3.

Strangely, Sony has never decided to add the feature to the game front of the PlayStation Store in an effort to help sort through the ever-growing list of demos, trailers and wallpapers – well until now that is.
