For me, the Resistance series has always lacked a little something. It's been hard to pinpoint what, exactly - I've enjoyed the other games, the shooting is always solid, there are some great setpieces. But Resistance 3 made the answer clear; they've b...

That's hardly surprising. The greatest achievement of the first two Resistance games was their infusion of science fiction to bring novel enemies and weapons to the staid WWII FPS genre. But that novelty was outweighed by developer Insomniac's brazen borr...
Resistance 3 is a good game. Both its single-player and multiplayer might be highly derivate, but they're also robust and highly-polished offerings. But this is 2011, the year of the FPS. With Killzone 3, Crysis 2 and Bulletstorm already on the shelves, a...
