Resistance: Fall of Man

Buy Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)

So, the PS3 is finally here. Did you notice? There was the odd spot on the news, a couple of queues, the usual manufactured excitement. But really, it’s the deafening silence from the hardcore community that kind of gives the game away.

Or maybe not the silence – maybe the ominous rumbling of complaints: price, looks, price, games, price. But it’s a brave new world whether you like it or not, and to celebrate, a shoot ’em up set in Grimsby.

That’s right, and Manchester too. Oh boy.

You see, alien scum have blah, blah, and now man’s last hope is etc., etc. So strap on a gun and get shooting. It’s real pretty and it’s made by the Ratchet and Clank dudes so it has a nice bit of humour. But… Grimsby! Grimsby, for chrissakes!
