The world of voice acting has many talents who always bring something interesting to the table.  Some actors are best suited for doing certain roles that make use of their particular talents but the best actors are the ones who you never would expect voice a particular character.  Actors such as Nolan North may have a recognizable element to their voice which is perhaps used too much in video games, but as we saw late last year Mr.

This may be sad news for some PS3 gamers, but Insomniac Games is officially done with the Resistance franchise. After releasing Resistance 3 last September it was unknown if Insomniac would continue with the series some point down the road given the ending of the game and the new 3rd party focus of Insomniac.

Since the dawn of this console generation multiplayer gaming has become a huge, if not THE major focus for most games and a key feature for gamers.  Being able to play with some buddies online wasn’t one of the many features that spawned this generation thanks to newfound technology as online gaming had a nice following on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox thanks to games like SOCOM and Halo.

Last month the Resistance franchise as we know it on the PlayStation 3 may have come to a close.  Sony may have no immediate plans on capping off the Resistance franchise since a new entry is bound for the PlayStation Vita, but when it comes to core Resistance games handled by Insomniac Games there’s a probable chance that Resistance 3 may have been the grand finale for the company.

Resistance 3 [Review]

Overall Feeling: 

The Resistance franchise may have had some high and low points but Resistance 3 is a perfect way for the series to go out.  Featuring a robust single-player campaign that has amazing variety and a terrific weapons upgrade system, Insomniac Games has fixed all the wrongs they committed in Resistance 2 and then added a ton of Resistance 1 nostalgia in for good measure.  Resistance 3 is a simply gritty and surprisingly emotional action experience that doesn’t fall victim to being incredibly shallow like so many other games today.  Thankfully the multiplayer experience isn’t a mess and instead offers some old-school style fun that does indeed have a level of strategy and skill to it.  Gamers may have been intensely burned by Resistance 2, but Resistance 3 is honestly a step in the right direction as it matches and slightly exceeds what we received five years ago with the first Resistance.

The Pros: 

+ The mood created in the game through the visuals and scenarios is superb.
+ Upgrading specific weapons is fun and allows the game to have a tailored experience.
+ Level pacing is right on the mark since nothing ever drags.
+ Boss battles are still a bit predictable but are more intense and generally look better.
+ Graphically the game really shines when it comes to the art design.
+ Multiplayer totally rocks as of now and is filled with action while not being too chaotic.

The Cons: 

- A few action segments are too scripted.
- The multiplayer mode is balanced but there are a few kill streak bonuses that could throw things off.
- Not having some lingering plot points resolved is disappointing considering what transpires at the end.
- Graphical quality is a bit hit and miss in some areas.

Developing and ultimately releasing a worthy sequel can often be a tough thing to do, even for the most adept developers out there such as Hideo Kojima or Peter Molyneux.  Having an established formula that works is good and all but the somewhat difficult task of deciding how much to change and what to keep the same often rears its ugly head when a studio is deciding what should be included in their next potential blockbuster video game.

In case you were hoping to jump aboard the 3D bandwagon this year with Sony’s PlayStation 3 3D enabled monitor you may want to take note of one slightly significant change.  Instead of the 3D monitor bundle shipping with a copy of Resistance 3 as it was announced at E3 this year, the bundle will now ship with a copy of Motorstorm: Apocalypse, which in case you didn’t know also supports 3D gaming.

It's Almost Time To Enlist Into The Resistance 3 Multiplayer Beta

In the past few months we have yet to see anything from Resistance 3 to overwhelmingly disappoint us.  There have certainly been a few moments that led us on a path of worry such as the somewhat noticeable reduction in the blood/gore effects when certain Chimera types are killed, but so far Resistance 3 appears to be the game that Resistance 2 should’ve been.  After some folks were lucky enough to get their hands on the single-player demo that was released with Battle: Los Angeles or was made available on the Hong Kong PS Store for a brief moment of time, we will now all be able t

Back in the day the San Diego Comic Con used to be an event that primarily focused on comic books with the occasional appearance by a high-profile movie, which in some cases was based on a comic book. But these days the San Diego Comic Con has grown to become a huge pop culture/geek heaven mega-event that includes panels for a ton of TV shows, genre films and of course video games.

Sony is now jumping aboard the trend of publishers who are requiring an online pass for some of their titles in order to play the always sought after multiplayer modes.  The news has been confirmed today after an image was released yesterday showing a Resistance 3 box with signage that pointed to a new PSN Pass feature.  At the time gamers didn’t know what this PSN Pass would entail or if it would be similar to what Rockstar Games and WB Games is doing with their most recent releases (you buy future DLC in bulk at a discount and download it ASAP when it’s released).

Europe Gets A Rather Extensive Resistance 3 Collector's Edition

For a lot of us video games are a deep passion that goes beyond just spending a few hours a day playing GTAIV, Madden or Killzone 3.  Personally speaking, I can attest to how video games are a major hobby of mine and how I have no problem laying down the bucks when required to pick up something that appeals to me. This generation it seems like publishers have finally realized just how major the fandom of video game fans is since we’ve seen an almost non-stop flow of specialty SKUs for major games.
