For the last day or so we have heard the news of Insomniac leaving the Resistance franchise. No one knew exactly what this meant. Ted Price has drop a note to let everyone know that the Resistance franchise is in capable hands. Does this mean only PS Vita type game such as Resistance Burning skies!?!?! Only time will tell. But just you can bet Sony is not going to let this franchise slip off into history.

We have truly enjoyed the Resistance trilogy. It sucked that Nathan Hale didn’t make it to the end. Although all three games were good. I loved Resistance 2 the best. if you haven’t tried these games. They are an awesome reason to own a PS3.

TODAY you can go to Gamestop or any of your local video game spots and pick up Sony’s Sci Fi shooter extravaganza. Both Resistance The Fall Of Man and Resistance 2 for only $40. You can not beat it. Insomniac has crafted of of the best First Person Shooters on the PS3. A must have for all PlayStation owners.

• The Resistance 2 Aftermath Multiplayer Map Pack
• Resistance 2 Skin Bundle
• Resistance 2 Wraith Skin multiplayer weapon

• Plus you also get a SRPA Capelli skin voucher from R2 for the multiplayer in Resistance 3.

This is just one of those things that I can’t remain silent about. Sometimes games fall below our expectations. And it pisses the fans off. This is a big deal with zealots I guess, who knows. But when a game that is obviously very good if not great gets ragged on it really sucks for the developers.

Resistance 2 was in my sight an awesome game. A 10 out of 10. A game that is recommended to buyers when they purchase a PS3. Nothing less than a must have title for all PS3 owners. With a great story. A main character that is just so much more than the regular run of the mill hero. Graphics and music to please the most hardcore of gamers.

Then why is it that there is a rampaging anti Resistance 2 movement moving through the internet like wild fire. The game itself is nearly a year old. Now all of a sudden the fans hate Resistance 2. Some even went as far to say the game design was “like your dog turned on you”. Some one has a sick dog in their house. This is insane. Did I play a different game tham every body else? Do I just like sucky games? I think not. People for the most part can be overly critical. Especially when their not doing the work. To me it seems that all the “Fans” want is another Modern Warfare clone. James Stevenson Insomniacs senior community manager, says that the overall fan opinion of the game was a failure. It’s shameful for such an excellent product to get such raggedy fanfare.

Resistance 2 was a bit different from the original. Progress works that way. With the story being told directly from Nathan Hales perspective instead of the over world voice over. The Sentinels incorporated into the story. And the ability to carry a hundred weapons striped down to only two. Many of these things it seemed that the fans didn’t like. Fools!!!!!! Most of these changes were made probably to increase the need to use strategy and give the game more depth. It seems that most of us ,”people” will never be satisfied. Insomniac did a terrific job on Resistance 2. I truly look forward to the release of Resistance 3, regardless of what anyone thinks. The game was fine. On and off line. Sometimes I believe that gamers don’t evolve the way games do. We remain the same when the games themselves become more than what we’re used to. I’m a victim of that myself. But to stomp a game in the ground for not being exactly what I wanted is just crazy. IN truth the game will almost never be exactly what I want. I don’t make video games. When we play a game. And I don’t mean play it for 30 minutes. I mean really play it. There are so many different factors to look at. When it comes to game such as Resistance 2, we have to look at the story, character, game play and graphics. All together you get a gaming experience that is rarely enjoyed by most gamers. Given a chance Resistance 2 can be the game I said at the begining of this article. A 10. Don’t be a fool. Play this game again. And see the truth. Resistance 2 is one of the great games of this generation of gaming.
