Some new screenies of Resistance 2. This game is turning out really well, definitely a huge step up from the original.

First impression is that it's brilliant. From the first screen on, you already know that you're experiencing something special. Can't wait to try out the online community aspect - the possibilities seem endless.

Apparently, Trophies are to become mandatory for games developers from 2009 onwards.

A good inititiative, IMO. It really doesn't take that much effort to add trophy support, and for some people they add a lot of replayability to a game.


On another note, I really like Mirror's Edge. It's very polished, and definitely unique in the gameplay department. It IS a frustrating game, though, so people with high blood pressure (or little patience) probably should steer clear. Lots of tricky areas require quite a bit of trial-and-error, so expect to die a LOT. This somewhat breaks up the flow (which is what the game actually is about), but I think they intentionally made it this way, because it really isn't a very long game. The trophies will give it some replay value, though.

I also got Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. The animation in this game is simply unreal.

I still didn't get my copy of Mirror's Edge, I think I'm never gonna do an order at Play again, this is not the first time I wait for over 2-3 weeks for a game to arrive, don't know what they're doing.

I found an online shop in Canada called AxelMusic, and they have very low prices and also very low shipping costs. And they also have region free games for the 360 and region free BluRay's. I ordered Resistance 2 yesterday, will have see if they ship it faster than Play.

With the low value of the US and Canadian Dollar at the moment you should be able to grab some bargains.

Are there any differences between the US High Definition standards and those in Europe? I remember reading something a long time ago but don't know if that is still the case.

Also is online content region related on game discs? With PC games for example some games purchased in Europe are coded to connect to the European servers for a game or other content, whereas a US or Jap version will be coded to connect to their region's network. Not sure if the same is true of PS3 and 360 games. Anyone know?
