Resistance 3

InsomniacGames is coming out with their third installment of the Resistance trilogy (due to be released September 6th, 2011), Resistance 3.  I myself have purchased the first and second Resistance and have played both but the thing in my mind that raises the most questions is, was it really necessary to create ANOTHER Resistance?  Apparently InsomniacGames believes so.

The Resistance trilogy is a Playstation 3 exclusive game, unavailable to any other platform so all of you PS3 users, listen carefully.

Resistance 3 is going to pick up around 4 yeas after the end of Resistance 2.  Sentinel Joseph Capelli (the main character) had finally given up on fighting the Chimeran menace.  For those of you who have yet to play any of the Resistance games, the Chimera are an alien species that inevitably worked together to take over the world.  They were made out of humans and brought together to fight man kind as a whole.  Joseph has had a complete role reversal and he is now hiding out with his family, trying to survive the invasion and soon to be extermination.  He is then offered a proposition.

Fyodor Malikov comes to Sentinel Joseph Capelli and presents him with an offer, he has an opportunity to deliver a huge and devastating blow to the Chimeran population and so Joseph must leave his family and embark on this mission with Fyodor Malikov.

Within the game  you will experience new upgradeable weapons, two player online or split-screen campaign co-op, the return of the weapon wheel (which was an amazing feature).  

The one thing that I always enjoyed about the Resistance trilogy is that it combines both elements of a first person shooter and a RPG, delivering just enough kick to satisfy your shooter needs and just enough storyline to satisfy your needs to be drawn into a world of alien invasion, terror, and fantasy.

Check out this live action trailer for the soon to be released game!

Enjoy!

Modern Combat Domination

This week the thing that's being talked about throughout the Playstation community is the release of Modern Combat Domination. A game that was released via the Playstation Store last night for only $5.99.

We immediately had to download the demo to give it a test run so we could give you guys a reasonable review on the game. Though many are comparing it to the likes of Call of Duty and Socom, we have to say that it is way less extravagant than those games, to say at the least.

The game play is choppy and most definitely not as smooth as Call of Duty and the imagery is below average, the graphics reminded us of an app that you could buy off of the Apple app store. The plot is quite obviously non existent, and the bots are simple and quite easy to beat without having a choice to harden the level (unlike on Black Ops).

After a review of the weaponry selection, many of the guns do not provide the amount of performance that they should via real life. The shotgun was terrible and the other assault rifles were merely tolerable.

To be the devil's advocate, we would have to say for the amount of money that you would be putting into the game, it is most definitely above average. You cannot expect to be able to compare a $70.00 first person shooter (Call of Duty) to this $5.99 first person shooter and come out with a similar result.

If you're looking for a game that's just going to pass the time then I'd advise you to spend the $5.99, but if you're looking for something that will just blow your brains away, I'd advise you to stay far far away.

Far...far away.
