GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Nov 15, 2008

Its amazing to see how much first-person shooter games have evolved in these recent years. Each game brings you something new to experience. There is no better first-person shooter games now than Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2. These 2 games was released last week for there own system, which makes it a competition to see which system is better PS3 or XBOX360. So, I thought of making a search for it and i myself played both of these games as well. While doing it, I heard some suprising stuffs from people. Most people liked and disliked the same thing from the each game. 

Resistance 2 was the best and improved sequel to the original. It also had the best graphics when comparing them to the full extent, but Gears of war 2 had the best character design. people had hard time choosing over which game weapon was better, some even said that some weapon are even similar. Gears of War 2 story line is awesome but some people and me also hated it when in the middle of the game they had love scenes in it which made the game lose its intense. Everybody always loved and mentioned the blood and gore in gears of war 2 especially with the chainsaw. Resistance also kept up to its violent path as well but not like GoW2. At the end of the article they always said that Resistance 2 was better than GoW2. Still both games are better but resistance 2 is a little better. Even though. I am a PS3 fan, i thought Gears of War 2 played and looked better. I might have pissed off some people, sorry but its the truth  . Remember, each game is unique in its own ways.


I just got Fallout 3 for the PS3. F3 is one of those games that make you dive right into it. Fallout 3's only main problem is that its way too short. I practically finished it in 20 or so hours. I would like more from a game that i spend $60 dollars on, but the gameplay was simply stunning. One thing that amazed me was the graphics, from the destroyed environment to the creature design was simply awesome. In some spots the graphic quality was poor, I was told that the problem was only for the PS3 version. The blood and gore almost gave you that GoW2 feeling but it faded away. Creatures in Fallout 3 was very similar to the Chimeras in Resistance, when i said that my friend told me to get glasses. To wrap it up this game was really something worth the money, If you are looking for a game to buy Christmas add this to your wish list.

PS3 is the strongest console out there right now, but I am starting to think is it really that strong?. My doubts came when Fallout 3 was released, PS3 version of the game scored less than the 360 version. Its a real shame to PS3 owners when they spend $400 to $600 dollars on their system. A game developer even said that, when making a game for the PS3 you can do nearly infinite amounts of stuffs to it. But why are they not using that advantage?. I hope these kinda difference wont happen in the future.

I also do think Gears of War 2 is kinda better than Resistance 2 as well.
But both are amazing games.
I never got really interested in Fallout 3.

Primo: most people do think that, but R2 also had its times. Fallout 3 is good game maybe rent it its best that way.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 6:20 am PT
I havent played any of the Resistance games so i dont know anything about it really. And i dont have Gears 2 yet so i dont know what to say. But yeah Fallout 3 and Gears 2 are games i will be getting eventually. But you gotta remember Fallout 3 was made for 2 consoles not just PS3 so they tried to make the best out of the game for both consoles.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 6:33 am PT
Mr_manga: I know its made for 2 consoles but it sucked when PS3 version sucked in both of them. gears and fallout 3 is a must have if you have 360.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 6:35 am PT
I've seen the game. Seems awesome.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 6:38 am PT
I couldn't decide so i didn't bother buying either of em
Posted Nov 15, 2008 6:43 am PT
raim: it sure is
Omega: Gears of war 2 is better in my opinion but resistance 2 wasnt bad eithet.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 6:45 am PT
Gears of war 2 is awesome!!
Posted Nov 15, 2008 7:09 am PT
naruto: it sure is
Posted Nov 15, 2008 7:16 am PT
I haven't played GOW 2 yet. but it's a great game for sure. same goes for Resistance 2. Fallout 3 ....well, I think it wasn't bad at all.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 7:43 am PT
abdullah: well, F3 wasnt bad but its short. It was an awesome game though
Posted Nov 15, 2008 8:00 am PT
Speaking silly-ly, the title for Resistance 2 is weird. Why is it just Resistance 2, not Resistance: Fall of Man 2, or should it be Resistance: The Falling Further of Man or The Rise of Man?
Posted Nov 15, 2008 8:29 am PT
haven't played R2 or GoW2... but nice critique. i'd like to play fallout 3, but it's a bit beyond my budget at the moment, so i'm waiting for the price to drop some.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 8:37 am PT
I so want to buy Gears 2 when I get my 360, and I also want to play Resistance 2.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 8:40 am PT
ebb: lol. why would you hate that title, resistance fall of man2 sounds even wierder.
fantasy: i expect a price drop sooner for it. but its better rent it in my opinion. Thanks

nintendo: i now what you mean, GoW is a must
Posted Nov 15, 2008 8:43 am PT
FPS have so many attempt that it is really hard to find one that really stands out. I would say that it is all thanks well deserved from Halo for this genre evolution. Without it, where would it really be? Oh and Gears of War 2 is now a FPS? I've been seeing it in 3rd person view.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 9:19 am PT
legend: I wouldnt give halo all the glory, many games i think would be known for this evolution. but halo was something when coming to shooter games. I messed it up, i meant to say shooter games not FPS. my bad
Posted Nov 15, 2008 9:28 am PT
I say Resistance 2. The big broses are awesome, levels are huge, and online is just the best on the PS3.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 9:28 am PT
ismir: agree on the bosses and huge levels but the online play was much better on Gears of war 2. GoW2 was a little low on bosses they didnt get my blood thumping.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 9:35 am PT
Well then gears of War is a 3PS as Resistance is FPS so it all comes to what you want.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 10:19 am PT
ismir: that is true. never thought of it that way
Posted Nov 15, 2008 10:36 am PT
How much they evolved is impressive but what disappoints me is the lack of games in the other genres because if how much games developers focus on shooters nowadays. This is really a blow for me cause as i mentioned before, im not that big on shooters so i dont have as much to play as everyone else, not to say i wouldnt want to try a 3rd person shooter every now and then. I thought gears of war 2 was a 3rd person shooter by the way and resistance was the 1st person shooter. Hey Code do you have a PS3 no or are you playing these titles over you cousins house? Its funny cause Fallout 3 is getting all this attention but im embarrassed to admit that i have never heard of Fallout 1 or 2 believe it or not Its weird but the title this time around is just a Oblivion game but with guns. I havent decided if i want to play this game or not, if i do, it will most likely be a rent. The PS3 is the most powerful system but you are wondering if this statement is really true. I have an answer to this. You see, i read in an article awhile back that developers say the PS3 is the most powerful system with high capabilities but they dont want to really make games for it because it is more work for them than other consoles like the 360 and Wii. So basically they just want to make faster games for the most part and get there games out and make money instead of quality titles like they should. This is why whenever you play a game that is multiplat for both the PS3 and 360, it always looks better on the 360 cause they dont really want to get into it with the PS3 all that much since the 360 is easier and faster to work with. Its a shame, finally when a really good and powerful system came out, it was pushed aside because of lack of interest in work

I won't be buying any of these games really. Well maybe Gears of War 2 if I can ever bring myself to finish the very first one.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 10:38 am PT
I don't have neither a Xbox nor PS3 , I do hear a lot of great stories about those games tho... meh..
Posted Nov 15, 2008 10:54 am PT
I kind of regret getting Resistance 2 since I expected more. Either that or it was just because I was never interested in it in the first place but only got it because it was anticipated and such a hype. I probably should've gotten Far Cry 2 instead.

zenesis: I know that, I was so into RPGs but in the next gen there has only been a few RPGs. The problem with gam developers is that when a shooting game gets good ratings then everyone starts to make shooting games after awile later when a RPG game gets good rating then everyone starts to make RPGs. Thats really sucks whent hey do that. Gears was 3rd shooter, it was my bad. I am still playing at my cousin, we thought of buying games together, we each a put half the money to buy it. Its actually real smart idea feels like you get the game for cheap. I actually heard about Fallout 3 only a few months ago, i never heard of fallout 1 or 2 either, i think they are real old games. Renting this game is a good idea, its a real good game but the hours you play in it is low. I nkew that was the reason, i also heard even if they did make adjustments it costs a little less. Its all business after all. If you see there real good titles coming to 360 and people tend to not get into with PS3. Now the japanese game industry also looks like going to 360 games.

c-mill: I think you like RPGs if i am right, RPG fans dont like to play shooting.
eucalypta: lets wait until the price drop.

filiwian: Gears of war is a good game but i get if you dont like it. It sometimes was a littl boring when you play it for a long time.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 11:12 am PT
Damn! Sometimes I wish I did have a PS3 or a 360, but most of the time I'm grateful with my Gamecube, because if I had any of the recent consoles, it would distract me too much from school!
Posted Nov 15, 2008 11:26 am PT
I cant wait for the rpg season to come back around then, too many shooters to rpg ratio. Actually, i have to say, thats a brilliant idea on your part. by only playing 30 dollars apart your saving quite the money for the next game you want. 60 dollars is too much for something that may not even be worth it. Ok good, im not the only one who has never heard of the last 2 installments:p they must be from consoles in the snes gen or older thats good its worth a rent now i suppose.

yea its just a business but it sounds kinda messed up and lazy to not want to go all out on a good game fon a highly capable system. If i was a high profiled developer, i know i would have. Thats true, not many developers want to work with the PS3 so they are mostly working along the 360 now and wii.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 11:32 am PT
neli: it will defnielty distract you, you would be like an addicted zombie.
zenesis: Lets hope it comes soon, when you look at it it seems shooting games arent going to slow down anytime soon. Maybe after final fantasy it would be back to normal. It is actually good, Plus i also stay at there house the most, so i am practically living there giving me a lot of time to play. You never wanna take a chance nowadays with games. I never pre order a game nowadays because if that game sucked i would be seriously mad. I bet a lot of people have not heard it. I looked it up looks like the last 2 games are for PC and they game around 97' and 98'. Definetly wrth it.

It would sick to see PS3s full capacity, I would bet that game would make the best game in everyones mind. Thats proves why games are very low on PS3. Wii is also losing its steam.

@-ZenesisX
I agree with what you said in your posted at 6:37 pm GMT.

@-code305
What ZenesisX said is one of the reasons I was saying what I said in my blog.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 12:47 pm PT
ismir: thats true and now i see what you mean. There are a lot of PS2 games out there old and new so it would be occupied for along time
Posted Nov 15, 2008 12:54 pm PT
Not only that the PS2 expands in every type of game...What I realizes was that I had way more choice and some that I will only have on PS2.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 1:13 pm PT
ismir: 8 years of games are in PS2, so you wont have shortage of games in that system. You can play PS2 games on the PS3 as well.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 1:19 pm PT
Nop...The new PS3s wont play PS2 only PS1. No matter I have the PS2. Only the 60GB PS3s play them.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 1:26 pm PT
ismir: why PS1 and not PS2, thats kinda stupid. PS2 last long time, i still have mine as well. All tucked in its box just like it came to me
Posted Nov 15, 2008 1:32 pm PT
i like all the games u listed .. fallout 3 was awesome, looking forward to far cry 2... resistance.. well didnt like teh first but my mate said the seconds much better... and gears looks good plus i liked the first one
Posted Nov 15, 2008 1:56 pm PT
altair: resistance 2 defnitly wat better than its original.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 2:07 pm PT
I don't do the FPS stuff at all.
I find it to be pretty boring really.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 2:16 pm PT
Fallout 3 is awesome i'm still playing it, do more sidequest, and don't worry Bethesda has promised DLC that will add to the story
Posted Nov 15, 2008 2:25 pm PT
tel: i thought it that way until i actually played it.
star: side quests tend to get boring sometimes. I didnt know they have promised that.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 2:36 pm PT
They only do PS1 because the PSP and PS3 support Downloaded PS1 games from the PSN that you can buy. Some hope it will be the same for PS2 but I don't see it for many reasons as I wont get into it now.

All I can say is this year makes me happy to have all consoles. Yep that's all I have to say about that
Posted Nov 15, 2008 5:40 pm PT
I heard GoW2 was way too much like the first, Ive been playing R2 Its AMAZING but online load times Suck.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 5:43 pm PT
I think gears and Resistance both look cool.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 7:52 pm PT
Yeah both games are good, but the problem with both games I think is they try to explain some of the plot, but yeah they end with more questions again.
Posted Nov 15, 2008 7:53 pm PT
Fallout 3 > a great game indeed
