Watch Killzone 2 from PlayStation Day [Update]
Update: We had to remove this trailer earlier in the week due to unknown embargoes. However, now that the embargo is done, we're clear to give you the Killzone 2 trailer from PlayStation Day. Enjoy it in HD (the way it was meant to be experienced) here. While half of the video is rather obnoxiously a close-up shot of the Killzone 2 logo, the in-game footage we do see here shows a lot of promise. 2009 is a very long, long away ...
European PSN Store releases for May 8th
SCEE has (mostly) kept their promise today with the second update of the week. While the Bourne Conspiracy demo and echochrome trailer seem to be missing, everything else has made it intact. With ten videos to watch from PlayStation Day (weighing in at a total of almost 3.4GB) there's plenty of stuff to watch from the show. Here's the full release list:Playable content Race Driver GRID demo (free) Add-on content Guitar Hero III "Def Leppard" track pack (£3.99/€4.99) Guitar Hero III "Muse" track pack (£3.99/€4.99) Army of Two "SSC Challenge" game pack (£3.99/€4.99) Trailers Mirror's Edge Gameplay trailer (free) PlayStation Day "Introduction: Kaz Hirai" video (free) PlayStation Day "Play has no limitations" video (free) PlayStation Day "Play is hiding and waiting" video (free) PlayStation Day "Play is full throttle" video (free) PlayStation Day "Play is a thousand stories" video (free) PlayStation Day "Play brings us together" video (free) PlayStation Day "Play is moving hips, lips" video (free) PlayStation Day "Play is unexplored" video (free) PlayStation Day "Summary: Play" video (free) PlayStation Day Compilation Trailer (free) Be sure to check out that Mirror's Edge gameplay footage in all its HD glory.

Killzone 2 continues to look pretty in gray
Click for full-resolution image. We're sorry to say that we didn't get a chance to get some hands-on time with Killzone 2 at the PlayStation Day event in London today. We did, however, enjoy watching through the fence surrounding the booth as various other members of the press got to do their thing. Not to mention the video during the keynote. There's no denying that Killzone 2 is a gorgeous game, even if it is primarily gray and green. Five new images have been added to our Killzone 2 gallery, which can be found below. Four are in-game screenshots and one is the spectacular piece of artwork you see above you. No, not above you -- above this paragraph. Made you look, though. %Gallery-4722%
Resistance 2, from PlayStation Day [Update]
Videos have been removed, at Sony's request. "This was an internal video to show work in progress and was not ready for distribution." We will post new media when it is available. Once again, footage from today's PlayStation Day conference has been making its way through the internet. With the delay of Killzone 2, it's clear that there's one big FPS game to focus on PS3 this holiday season: Resistance 2. Forgive the low-quality footage, but remember: you'll see high-def versions of these trailers soon enough.
Mirror's Edge trailer, straight from PlayStation Day
This upcoming first-person adventure title from DICE has us pretty excited. The trailer from PlayStation Day shows entirely real-time gameplay. Imagine Prince of Persia plus The Matrix ... in your own eyes.
