It's That Time Again. Y'know, Where We All Stop To Gawp At Killzone Screens.

It was a prominent coining around February last year, ahead of the release of the anticipated Killzone 2. We expect the phrase will re-emerge soon due to Killzone 3. A host of hands-on reports for the game have come out of the US tonight, and they're particularly glowing. They address control concerns, to visual upgrades, to general narrative stuff.

And if you want a sneak-peak of the game in action, hit the jump and check out a great interview with the Playstation Blog's Jeff Rubenstein. Hint: the game's running in the background.
