November 17th, 2006 Friday: Against all odds, I have just picked up my Playstation 3 and a copy of what has been promised to be the most of what the PS3 launch lineup has to offer, Resistance: Fall of Man. The reviews have been good, and I am ready to be blown away by this truly next generation experience.

November 17th, 2006 Later that afternoon: Had a weird sort of problem with the Playstation 3, but have finally gotten around to playing Resistance: Fall of Man. Initial impressions are not what I expected. I would go as far as saying that this game is a bit boring, with few, un-intelligent enemies on screen at a time and limited weapon variety. Also, in this post-Halo world of shooters, the inability to heal simply by ducking out of the fight for a second, comes as a shock making the game less fun than I had wanted.
