Yeah, "average" gets you "average" scores on major [sarcasm] game reviewers 
like edge and fidgit.  IGN, Gamespot....those are the little guys.

Edge is actually a major publication in the UK. But 7/10 isn't an 
average score from them by any means.

The first game averaged a 70.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/killzone?q=Killzone

The second game went from FPS to 3rd person stealth (a la Metal Gear)
and did a little better but still averaged a 77.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/psp/killzoneliberation?q=Killzone

But I don't think you can call the 3rd game very very average (yet).

 Quotes from 1st LINK  review-

""‬The Helghast,‭ ‬invisible behind their anime-Nazi armour,‭ ‬are
products of the most advanced performance capture and procedural
technology in gaming‭ – ‬and it shows.‭ ""

"""And it gets extraordinary mileage from piling lots of bodies into
simple spaces,‭ ‬letting cutting-edge AI do the rest.‭ ‬A quasi-
tactical shooter,‭ ‬its action rivals any in Stalker or COD4."""

Rivals COD4? that's not indicitive of average,

again I used the very reviews you posted

2nd LINK-

""" But, since the game isn't out yet, there's no way to try
multiplayer in earnest yet. """"

A review that hasn't tried the multiplayer? hmmmmm........ NEXT

And the 3rd LINK referenced this review which gave it a 8.7 , not so
'average' afterall

This is actually a good review of the game...LOL..wow , not so
'average'

Edge is huge magazine in the UK and one of the most respected
publications out there. I trust their reviews more than IGN and GS
combined as do tons of other people. I don't always agree with them
but they are probably the most objective reviewer out there.

Well then you should respect the fact that the OP misrepresented what they 
said in the review because their comments indicate far from "average" as far 
as Edge is concerned.  Didn't read the others.

Actually, it's not. At all. It's bought by less than 30,000 people 
every month which even in a relatively small country like the UK isn't 
anything like great. The Official playstation mag sells 45,000 and the 
Official 360 & Nintendo mags sell about 60,000 (Future's own figures). 
It sells roughly the same as the unofficial mags and nobody gives a 
damn what they think. I'd also wager a big chunk of the copies Edge 
sells are bought just to get the job ads in the back. A lot of the UK 
gaming population consider it to be, to use the vernacular, 'right up 
it's own arse'. It's just as likely to get reviews laughably wrong as 
right  and famously had to publicly regrade one game after giving it a 
mark 3 short of what said it intended to do as an 'administrative 
error'. So it's frankly a relatively poor seller with a vastly 
overinflated opinion of it's own importance that has no more relevance 
within the UK gaming community than any other mag.

It also doesn't have bylines on reviews, they're all done by 'Edge 
staff'. Make of that what you will.

Yes, but not necessarily any good. The Killzone 2 review for example, 
regardless of the score, is a triumph of style over substance.

Killzone 2 is pretty good for a PS3 game, but doesn't come close to
living upto the pre-rendered CGI trailer shown at E3 2005.

What planet you on???

Every web site who compaired both the pre-rendered CGI trailer and the game 
now, all said it now totally blows it away.  Plus none of the CGI is pre 
rendered now, its all rendered in real time.

On another note, why you saying "Killzone 2 is pretty good for a PS3 game"?
What I've seen and played of it, nothing on the 360 comes even close.

I know quite a few die hard Xbox fans, buying a PS3 just for this game 
alone.

Just stop with your lies and trolling please.

Above is a post that clearly demonstrates you shouldn't believe
everything you read.

The biggest complaint I've heard is that each level is too much like
the one before and boredom sets in.

I could say that about plenty of games, Gears 1 & 2 spring to mind, they 
have got to be the most over hyped, boring and linear games I have ever 
played.  To tell the truth I still haven't finish Gears 2 yet, I've played 
it for around 2 hours and never went back to it. Is the multiplayer still 
broken on it?

Where KZ2 shines is the Multiplayer, single player doesn't interest much 
these days.  I haven't even played single player campaigns on COD4 and COD 
WaW yet.

uhh, i think it does. I was one of those people laughing my ass off at 
Blig's attempts to ensure the universe that the CG trailer was exactly 
like the game would be... but unfortunately he's right. The demo looks 
bloody amazing, it plays pretty well but it's nothing revolutionary. I 
will buy it but it seems like a pretty run of the mill FPS.

There's great graphics (which K-2 has) and then there's the gameplay.
From the demo (I've played through 6 times now), the gameplay is your
generic fps. The default control scheme is TERRIBLE, but you can
choose a more confortable layout (I chose 'alternate 2', similar to
Resistance 2 layout). The weapons (available in the demo) are pretty
lacklustre. Though I will be picking it up on launch day, I must say
that the demo is pretty disappointing and does not sell the game at
all. Hopefully Sony/Guerilla haven't dropped the ball (again)...I've
got my fingers crossed...

COD4 campaign is the best of the list you posted , by far. You should
really try it on Veteran. Worth every minute and watch  the entire
credits when you finish.

Early reviews of the game have been largely positive, while pre-orders
of the game have topped 1.1 million units in Europe alone.Wow! The
multiplayer gameplay is class-based, meaning the player can choose a
class of character which is specialized for a specific role to better
suit the player's needs in battle.

A demo card, granting access to a Killzone 2 demo was also offered to
US gamers who pre-ordered the game at GameStop. The US demo was also
made available to those customers on February 5th, 2009; http://www.gamestotal.com,

I still love the "jolly" nature of the multiplayer in Res 2.... I wait
with baited breath to see what it will be like in KZ2
