I picked up my copy of Resistance 3 from Best Buy yesterday and I'm already impressed. I actually decided to shell out the money and get the Doomsday Edition. For $150 I got a copy of Resistance 3, a PS Move controller, a navigation controller, the Eyetoy camera, and the Sharpshooter. A total savings of about $70 for the same items individually so I pretty much consider my copy of the game as FREE. I wasn't initially interested in the Move since I kinda felt burned by the whole Wii gimmick but Sony has managed to sell me on the idea that their motion control actually works well. More on that in a future blog I'm sure.

I've been playing the multiplayer beta of Resistance 3 over the last week and I had a lot of fun with it. It requires some definite skill to juggle the varied arsenal and play styles available. It'salways nice to find a game that rewards skill with nice perks and this game delivers. A big part of the fun of the Resistance series is the varied weapon types and their secondary fire modes. I have to say my personal favorite is still the Auger after 3 games. The ability to see your enemies thru walls and rainpunishment down on them without them being able to defend themselves from your onslaught of weapons fire is just too useful. The secondary ability to drop a protective shield that your fire can still pass thru is also great for when you get caught flat out in the open. Plus its just fun as Hell to shoot.

I will definitely be working up a game review for Resistance 3 once I finish my first playthru, likely sometime next week. Until then I'm going to enjoy dishing out a healthy dose of concentrated energy weapon fire to some well deserving Chimeras' faces.
