KILLZONE 2

I finally found the time to finish off this game last week. It is an excellent game with fantastic graphics. Gameplay was awesome all through the game too. However, the ending ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! Killzone 2's end is 1 of the most ridiculous ever.

The difficulty is in trying to figure out the best way to kill Visari. It isn't all that hard to kill Visari once you've figured out the method though. Worst thing is that even after you've figured out the best way to kill Visari, it then takes an inordinately long time to actually kill him off. It took me 16 minutes! 16 minutes of doing the same boring thing over and over again is not what a final boss fight should be. That is just plain stupidity. It's almost as if the devs did a superb job all the way through and just fell asleep at the very end. LOL.

Here's the method I used.
1. Clear out all the enemies in final room.
2. Run upstairs and clear the room again.
3. Once room is cleared again, wait upstairs near the gun racks.
4. Grab the sniper rifle from rack before Visari appears from out of nowhere.
5. Jump downstairs to the doorway. This is the door we came in at the beginning of the stage.
6. Drop sniper and grab shotgun from the rack in doorway.
7. Wait for Visari to teleport right in front of the doorway. Look out for the tell tale electric flash.
8. Pump him with 2 shots when he rushes into the doorway.
9. Keep repeating step 8 for the longest time.
10. Visari gives up and appears at the far end of the room, on top of the stairs.
11. Pick up the sniper rifle I dropped earlier at the doorway gun rack.
12. Snipe his big fat belly from within the doorway.
13. The End.

It's just basically 16 minutes of mindless repetition. Plain stupid. I rate this as 1 of the worst endings to a game ever. There is 1 big thing going for this game though. It's the online multi player part that I love. It's highly addictive trying to gain rank. So.................if you haven't already tried Killzone 2, buy it, play it, enjoy it, expect a shitty ending, love it all over again for the multi player.

Silverstone RV02 fan grills

Here's some additional information I just received from Silverstone HQ. I mentioned in the review that I would most likely remove the fan grills on the 3x 180mm fans for better air flow. However, Silverstone has since informed me that there is a reason they put the honeycomb grills there. It's there to straighten the airflow of the fan for better cooling performance. The honeycomb matrix guides the air into a straight beam of air without causing noise or turbulence.

There is a company called Nexus selling these honeycomb fan grills and it has a very good explanation on why the honeycomb grill makes the fan perform better. It has plenty of pictures with smoke testing to show the airflow pattern with and without the grill. It's pretty interesting stuff. Head on over to the Nexus site at- http://www.nexustek.nl/NXS-nexus-beamair-airguider.htm

I guess I'll be trying out the RV02 with the grills in place then. Hehe. I will also try it without the grills just to see if the Silverstone version of the grills really do improve the cooling of the case in actual daily usage.

Edit:- I have since tried the RV02 with and without the fan grills. I'm happy to report that the fan grills really do improve the airflow of the fans. I can feel a definite improvement in the direction of airflow straight out of the fans as claimed by Silverstone. I'd recommend everyone to keep the grills on.
