Resistance: Fall of Man
Formerly known as I-8, this futuristic first-person shooter frankly didn't look like much when it was unveiled at the Game Developer's Conference earlier this year. But given that Resistance is being shaped by the creators of the stellar Ratchet %26amp; Clank games, our first impressions are likely deceptive.

Resistancelooks like an uncharacteristically dark game for the usually cheery developers at Insomniac, and we're not just talking about the tone. The game appears to be about fending off an alien invasion that's subjugated mankind, sure, but what surprised us was the shadowy look of everything. The demo video showed the lone hero running down dank-looking alleyways at night, stopping only to duck for cover behind (weirdly flat-looking) sandbags as monsters emerged from the shadows. But dark theme or no, we're looking forward to a more polished showing next week.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
