Sequel to 2006′s Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2 is sure to be one hell of an adventure.

It’s the year 2277, 200 years after the global nuclear war left the U.S. in ruins, but not completely destroyed. A small group of survivors are living in Vault 101, a Vault-Tec engineered safe haven in what is left of Washington D.C. – now known as the Capital Wasteland. Giant insects and super mutants live in the outside world, but the people of Vault 101 are safe — at least until your adventure starts. After you find your father has gone missing from the vault, you are forced to leave and voyage into the unknown. Create a unique character with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. character system, then choose how you act, which will affect the world around you. Fallout 3 is sure to be one of the greatest games of the year.

After the huge success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Activision is trying again with Call of Duty: World at War, but this time they’re going back to the World War II era. Built using the same engine as COD4, World at War puts you in the middle of a war in the Pacific playing either as an American Marine or a Russian Infantryman in its single-player campaign. And for the first time ever in a Call of Duty game, World at War introduces co-op play with either two-player local split screen or up to four players online. Oh, and if you thought COD4 online multiplayer was fun, just wait until you get online with this one!
