Killzone: Mercenary may not release until September but, if you’re lucky enough, you can participate in the beta beginning soon.

Get in quick as sign-ups end at 10pm BST/2pm PDT on 17th July, and there are limited spaces.

Guerilla Games has been hard at work on the next game in the Killzone franchise, and it has been revealed to be Killzone: Shadow Fall for the PS4. A live demo of Shadow Fall was showcased at the PlayStation Meeting 2013 that showed an ongoing war between Helghan and the Vetka.

Sony and Guerilla Games has confirmed that the rumoured Killzone Trilogy exists and will be released later this Winter.

As the name suggests, the collection will include a HD version of Killzone 1 – complete with trophies – and the PS3 versions of Killzone 2 and 3.

Throughout Gamescom week our inbox gets barraged by publishers pushing trailers. We can’t complain. We love them, and we know you do too.

That’s why we decided to collect our favourites and put them together in an article. It turned out we couldn’t narrow them down to 10, so we thought we might as well give you 37.

Here are nine videos to get you started. We’ll have more up throughout the day.

Killzone coming to Vita doesn’t surprise anybody but it’s still great to have Sony finally confirm it at gamescom.

The reveal trailer was heavily multiplayer based but there were also some story hints, as is obvious by the title, that show that the game will focus on mercenaries rather than playing from the perspective of the ISA and Helghast.

This week, PS3 Attitude has been discussing PSN trophies, or more specifically, trophies that must have spawned from the depths of hell. Everyone loves trophies, but occasionally a challenge will come along that is so ridiculously hard and/or time consuming, you have to think to yourself; what’s the point? These are our picks for 5 of the most evil trophies on PSN.

Although you wouldn’t know it from the atrocious British weather, it is actually summer now, so PS3 Attitude has been thinking about gaming worlds that we’d rather not holiday in. Videogames and hellish environments often go hand in hand, so we certainly had our work cut out in narrowing it down to just five locations!

Killzone 3 celebrates its one year anniversary this week and to celebrate Guerrilla Games has announced that the full multiplayer portion of the game will be heading to the PlayStation Store as a standalone download next week. This is one birthday party everyone can be a part of.

Game Group today announced a partnership with SCEE to release PS3 titles, DLC and subscriptions to the PSN in the company’s Game and Gamestation stores.

The online layoff has been difficult for gamers of all types but perhaps the group most anxious to get back to business as usual are fans of online shooters.

Now that online gaming has largely been restored to the PS3, users have the chance to make up for lost time by earning double XP this weekend for two of the most popular first-person shooters.

Yes, that’s right; back by popular demand is PS3 Attitude’s PlayTime, in which we reveal what we’ve been up to for the past month. From blockbuster titles to indie games, we’ve been tracking exactly what we’ve been playing throughout March because, believe it or not, we do play games as well as write about them. There’s been a huge amount of highly anticipated games released in the last few weeks, and we’ve played a fair few of them, so let’s get started.

This time last year, we’d just seen the releases of high profile titles such as BioShock 2, Dante’s Inferno, Heavy Rain and the North American and European releases of White Knight Chronicles and Star Ocean: The Last Hope International. In 2011, February was just as busy as last year, if not more so, with a huge number of games both released and announced.

The first-person shooter genre is one of the most dominant of this generation. The success of Call of Duty alone is staggering. Back in late December, Activision announced that Black Ops had surpassed $1bn in sales and that over 600m hours had been logged playing the game. The game is still topping the charts today. Call of Duty isn’t the only franchise flying the flag for first-person shooters either; there is also much fanfare for Killzone, Battlefield, Medal of Honor and Resistance, to name just a few of the big hitters.

Killzone 3 is clearly a title that makes some people uncomfortable.

This particular author doesn’t normally bother reading other people’s reviews at all, but that golden rule was broken when stories of a few ‘less than stellar’ opinions were being touted on Twitter. Could Killzone 3 really be a 6 or 7 out of 10 game? Or are we dealing with some kind of irrational backlash against, apparently, nothing at all?

Read on as PS3 Attitude give you one of our trademark scoreless reviews. Everything you need to know about Killzone 3, good and bad, is contained within.

Killzone 3, the unashamedly butch, badass and drop-dead gorgeous first-person shooter from Dutch developer Guerrilla Games, is out next week, and we’re currently playing through it, preparing for the PS3 Attitude review. We’re not in a position to give our verdict, yet, but we have a good feeling that fans be delighted with the latest instalment in the series.

We’ve also been speaking to our friends at Guerrilla, who have kindly shared five interesting pieces of trivia about Killzone 3 and the team behind it. Forget all you know about the guys at Guerrilla; they may enjoy gouging out Helghast eyes – yes, we love the new brutal melee system – but they‘re really a nice bunch: good, animal-loving people. Here are five thoughts straight from Guerrilla’s fancy new HQ:

For those of us that have been patiently waiting for news on the PS3’s revered shooter we’ve got new information regarding the multiplayer maps. Inside you’ll find every map available including the game types, special features and number of players.

Have a look at the arenas that you can look forward to killing your friends in.

Well then, dear PS3 lovers… it will soon be the Year of the Rabbit, the happiest of all the Chinese zodiac signs.

In Chinese astrology the Rabbit is considered to be happy and popular. Rabbits are known for their artistic talent and good taste. You might say there are certain attributes of the Rabbit that foretell of a great year for Sony’s flagship console.

So, is that the case? Or will 2011 be more a ‘dog of a year’ than a metaphorical ‘lucky rabbit’s foot’?

Guerrilla Games today released a story trailer for Killzone 3, which shows unrest in Helghast politics following the death of Scolar Visari. Since his death, two figures have become highly influential, Jorhan Stahl, the scheming …

It was just shy of two years ago when Killzone 2 exploded on to the scene and inserted itself as yet another multiplayer juggernaut on the PlayStation 3. As crowded as the genre already is, Killzone has always found a way to set itself apart. Now, we’ve had some hands on time with the Killzone 3 multiplayer beta and we’re ready to bring you our impressions. So how does it hold up?
