If the hype is anything to go by, Killzone and Gran Turismo 4 are set to be two of Sony’s most important titles for the coming months. Now we can synchronise watches and diarise for their respective releases.

Killzone, trying to burst from the shadow of Halo 2, will be released a little later - 1st December. And GT4’s release date seems finally to have stopped skidding off into the distance, having shed its online mode; and after dealing with the apparently rather complicated localisation process, should be ready for release on the 23rd February.

As ever, there’s still enough time for things to change between now and then. And judging from current trends, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see those games surface illegally ahead of their official launches anyway. We’ll be keeping a close eye on both these crucial PS2 titles, and if anything exciting happens, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.
