Insomniac Games delivers the second Resistance just two years after the PlayStation 3 launched with the original, armed with a full clip of marketable bullet points. Online multiplayer with up to sixty people, an extensive eight-player cooperative campaign, bigger polygon counts, more massive enemies and a world-spanning adventure all add up to the epic, but succinctly named Resistance 2. Set just a few years after the events of Resistance: Fall of Man, the sequel continues right where the first left off, dropping what didn’t work and largely improving upon what did.
So, Guitar Praise – the Christian music-based rhythm game? HUGE hit, apparently. So huge, in fact, that the publishers (Digital Praise) are considering not just a sequel, but an evolution. Or at least an Intelligent Redesign that could see the game moving from the PC/Mac to consoles and extending to full band gameplay.
So by now we should all be up to speed on Johnathan Lee Riches, the South Carolina inmate who kills time by filing lawsuits against the likes of Barry Bonds, Michael Vick, and anyone else who happens to be in the news. For a time, shitheads mainstream media treated the claims seriously, but now we all have to realise he’s just having fun, and showing zero respect for a judicial system that put him in the clink.
You know who likes the smell of victory in the morning? The British Army, that’s who – and now the Ministry Of Defence is pumping research pounds into creating a Virtual Battlefield complete with Virtual Smells so soldiers can sample that smell – alongside the bouquet of bullets, the whiff of weaponry and the perfume of the paramilitary – without having to step into harm’s way.
Is there some rule among game developers that all creepy space aliens have to look like vaginas with teeth? If so, what makes you think you can throw a half-dozen of them into a pinball game and have the best possible WiiWare title ever?
Ah, the Pig Pen, East Los Santos. I’ve blown many wads of cash there in my time, and left it about as fulfilled as I have any other strip club in real life. Speaking of unfulfillment and real life strip clubs, the PlayPen of East Los Angeles — notice any similiarities? — lost a federal appeal in a lawsuit against Rockstar Games, alleging the game infringed on its trademarks.
Zombies are great – that’s pretty much a given – but they can be a bit of a downer too, can’t they? All that shuffling around and moaning, reminding us of our encroaching mortality and the unavoidable personal apocalypse that awaits us all. etc. etc.
The Ocarina may be a legitimate instrument that’s been around 12,000 years or so longer than The Legend of Zelda, but that doesn’t stop people from making the association.
In this video you get a glimpse of a new iPhone-driven digital Ocarina and a guy using it to play a very familiar theme. Hit the jump to check out a chorus of these things playing Stairway to Heaven.
Meet Seth, he’ll be one of the new bosses who will be more than happy to pound your face into the ground when you get your hands on Street Fighter IV. He seems to enjoy sucking his opponents into a spiraling vortex and shooting them out of his chest. I predict hours of frustration with this guy.
