Here is what most of the PS3 fans have been waiting to read. A massive amount of new info for the exclusive game Resistance 2. I just got my new issue of GamePro in the mail and as promised they have the first scoop of information on Resistance 2’s, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, and Cooperative modes. Insomniac games hasn’t taken the first game and put it in a shiny new wrapper. Oh no! They took everything they learned from developing one of the first launch titles for the PS3, rooted out the short comings of the first game, and even decided to give gamers more than they deserve. The entire 10 page article is simply amazing to read and makes me giddy in the pants for Resistance 2. There is even a chance to win Beta invites for Resistance 2, but you’ll have to buy the magazine to find out how to do it. Sorry!
I scanned the whole article for your enjoyment, but if you really don’t have to time to sit through and read every little detail, I decided to put a cheat sheet on the next page. So enjoy the scans below and hit the jump for the cheat sheet.

“With rock-solid gameplay and plenty of creeps, Bloodshot finds its soul by making your heart race. “
[90]GamerNode
It’s an unbridled one-of-a-kind mature ride with scant a boring moment in its 11 mission single-player campaign. Multiplayer is welcome, but ultimately passable.
[88]Game Informer
“Probably the best survival horror title we’ve seen this generation. The online multiplayer modes aren’t going to blow your mind… “
[85]GameSpot
“This horror-themed sequel’s thrilling set pieces and bloody combat are remarkably satisfying but not for the faint of heart.”
[83]Electronic Gaming Monthly
“With rock-solid gameplay and plenty of creeps, Bloodshot finds its soul by making your heart race.”
[80]IGN
“As a sequel, the game doesn’t have the originality the first had going for it and, as such, the shortcomings are more noticeable. The gameplay improvements are strong enough to overshadow these for the most part and you’re still left with a wild ride. “

Who would have guessed that the last map in the Legendary Pack would be a Lockout remake. Well now we have official word from Bungie and some great insight into what went into making the “strict port”. For the original Lockout in Halo 2 the setting was on a Forerunner structure used for containing the flood. Now we have the human take on Lockout, Blackout is a human weather station in the middle of nowhere. This midnight time map is lit by the full moon and will recreate the same feeling of the original Lockout so much it will be hard to notice the differences. What will make fans the most excited about Blackout is that Bungie decided not to try and change the map much at all. Like previous remakes the maps were retooled and moved around, but Blackout is really a port instead of a remake; which will please about 90% of the fans. The only things that were added that you will notice a difference with is the Bubble Shield, Power Drainer, and the Regenerator. This is the best thing Bungie has done to Halo 3 since saved films, great job Bungie we cant wait to play!
Look for Blackout along with Ghost Town, and Avalanche in April 15ths Legendary Map Pack for 800 MS Points.

Here is the first video in our Saladhats.com Bad Company Beta Coverage. This is the first game we played and it wasnt too amazing. I got a few kills but to make up for the short video I added a small treat at the end.
A member of the Bungie.net forums has posted a scan of a new gaming magazine(unknown at this time) showing all of the new Halo 3 maps coming in the Legendary Map Pack. The picture used on the front page looks to be a concept art photo of the Lockout remake. In the picture you can notice the gravity lift that was in the original but it looks slightly different and it includes a Battle Rifle sitting where it was in the Halo 2 version. It is great news to hear that this map is coming back!
The Legendary Map Pack featuring Avalanche, Ghost Town and the Lockout remake is coming on April 15th.
