Starts out like this:
The first thing you notice about Resistance 3 is that it's brown. Utterly, overwhelmingly, gloriously brown. At a time when grimy beige levels have become a derided shooter cliché, there's something delightfully perverse about Insomniac's decision to show off its new game with what is quite possibly the brownest gaming experience in history. What makes it more impressive is that it totally works, and makes perfect sense in context.
And ends with this:
That's going to leave a stain...
As for me, I use my trusty HE .44 Magnum and peppered the lumpy great brute with explosive shells, detonating them all at once for the proverbial MASSIVE DAMAGE before scrambling to the ammo crate to restock.
Finally, breathlessly, the beast falls and the demo ends with Capelli taking the first steps on a journey that will take him from the wastelands of Oklahoma to the ruins of New York. There, presumably, he'll find some way to balance out the enormous odds stacked against us.
With maybe 20 minutes of playtime in its demo version, it's hard to draw too many conclusions about what we can expect from Resistance 3 when the full game lands in September. Multiplayer is still a mystery, as is the co-operative gameplay.
For solo players, however, Insomniac seems intent on offering the best of both worlds - the pace and action of ****c FPS titles of old blended with the freedom and customisation of more modern entries in the genre. Whether they can pull it off over a full campaign remains to be seen, but this small but savage taster packs a serious punch.

So, what ya guys think - Halo killa ? :P
EDIT: Ya know, based on nothing more than really a hunch, I just get the feeling this may be the PS3's best AAAE shooter of the year. :o
