Virtually there: Sony's Killzone event

Sony took over Sushi Roku to show off an exclusive preview of Killzone 2 to the press. While our readers continue to argue over whether or not our impressions were negative, or positive, we wanted to show you how Sony threw a party. The sushi and drinks were never-ending, and the Japanese sushi chefs were constantly jovial and friendly. The menu was simple, consisting of tuna sashimi, California rolls, shrimp tempura, and other standard sushi fare.

Amongst a crowd of international journalists and tons of unfamiliar faces, we saw Sony executives mingle and chat freely about the state of PlayStation. Somehow, the giant Phil Harrison snuck behind us as we grabbed a drink. Afar, we could hear Kaz Hirai talking about PS3 sales figures. As we headed to the behind-closed-doors screening, a life sized Helghast greeted us, with ominous eyes. We were hoping it would animate at some point, because we'd certainly be scared out of pants. The event was a rousing success, showcasing Sony's ability to mix style with gaming. Check out our gallery of the event below:
