10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Are 10 Years Old

7. Killzone

Remember when the phrase 'Halo-killer' was doing the rounds? It's been applied to everything from Killzone's militaristic sea of grey art assets to the mechanically-cool Haze; a title that instead ended up completely falling flat on its face when it finally came out. Killzone though is a series that still sells just out of necessity - want a fairly decent, pretty shooter on your Playstation but are sick of Call of Duty? Here you go. With last year's PS4 incarnation Shadow Fall still retaining the series' embarrassingly bad body physics, shooting is just as formulaic and phoned in as it ever was. But then again there are some upsides to these titles; mainly that the collection of guns within them are really meaty, Rambo-esque dispensers of ammunition that are at least fun to pull the trigger for, even if the collision is like poking through wet paper. With a pretty sweet squad mechanic that saw you switch from main man Jan Templar (hardly Master Chief, is it?) to the ninja-esque Luger, the straight-talking Gregor Hakha or the big, brash Rico Velasquez, Killzone definitely entered the fight for FPS dominance with some neat ideas - it was just a shame that under some very nice graphics for the time, was a shooter that just wasn't fun to play.
