Resistance 2 is almost upon us. Sony has revealed the release date of November 4th, with a public beta for co-op play starting in early October. Want in on the action before the game’s release well here are 3 ways to do so.
1. Pre-order the game at GameStop
2. Get an annual subscription to Qore (Sony’s Digital Magazine thingie on PSN)
3. Get episode 3 of Qore
The collector’s edition priced at $79.99 will include the game, making of videos, a book filled with game art, and a statuette. Seeing as I’m still sitting on the first game I’m not really one to say go and get the second one, but if the popularity is a sign this is something, if you are a FPS fan, you might want to get. I’ve heard that out of all the seemingly flop-ish release titles this one didn’t suffer from that disorder. Though the first did create controversy with its cathedral that was almost detail for detail a true landmark that the church frowned upon seeing as demons and guns were being used inside of it in the game. Well maybe we’ll see some more of that this time around, how about a business building done to perfection, or a playground?

So the mega giant EA has yet again given the poor defenseless gamers the middle finger. An avid gamer recently got the finger of doom by the following set of circumstances…
Being the cool kid that he is he went ahead and pre-ordered the collector’s edition of Warhammer: Age of Reckoning straight from EA. As time passed this gamer decided to change residencies. Being the pro-active person that he is he went ahead and called EA to get a change of address for the game when it came out. After a mountain worth of infuriating phone calls the customer support staff not only wouldn’t do a change of address but they also decided that the pre-order should be stolen away completely leaving the gamer stunned, pissed, and probably slightly broken inside.
Are you freaking kidding me? I know that EA has more money than God, but you start pulling this stuff and it might start an already burning hatred for EA. I personally am not the biggest fan of the establishment, but that has to do with certain IPs that they hold. I would have never thought that they would pull this on out though.
Oh well hopefully the gamer ended up getting something for his troubles, or maybe he ended up getting the game elsewhere, here’s hoping.
