But, apart from giggling like a giddy schoolgirl at every 'PS1 all time classic games' I can download via the Playstation store, and jumping for joy at every Metal Gear Solid I can replay for the 1000th time with my friend, through all these enjoyments, I made a single error.
Buying Resistance : Fall of man.
Now, created by Insomniac, it's a split screen game which made me buy it as I love split screen co-ops, and we have successfully got half way through the game, and I shall tell you everything I know about what has happened in this game so far.
Russia didn't tell anyone about these crazy hybrid humans called Chimera invading, so all they did was shut off their borders. It didn't work, portrayed by a 2D map of the World, everywhere started to be engulfed by a black shroud, to signal that the Chimera had taken that Country down, but not Iceland. Iceland was fine. Iceland was never touched by this black shroud. Why didn't everyone evacuate to Iceland? Because the same reason I assumed the Chimera didn't invade it, nobody likes Iceland. So, you're Hale, who gets infected, but, you have a resistance that no human has ever had, and some English chick thinks you're interesting, so writes a diary about Hale.

That's it. Half way through the game, and the most interesting point of all of this, is why Iceland did not get invaded. Plus, the fact that no-one mentions Iceland not being invaded.
The gameplay is shoddy, with the fact that it doesn't encourage any cover system, so half the time I just seemingly run in and die because I have no clue as to what's actually happening. The revival system is strange, with the other player providing you with a helping hand of Voodoo and magic to revive you as some sort of yellow aura surrounds you. On the topic of revival, the only way you can heal, is by having some sort of connection with the Chimera, and using the tanks of yellow goo on the floor. If you remember Star Wars Battlefront 2, they're exactly like the yellow bacta tanks. My only issue with this is that no point in the game do you use human healing, or any first aid of any sort, and everyone is happy to just drink yellow alien goo, which is probably piss, as a way of healing.
So, with no clue as to what actually happens in this game, with the added confusing game-play, you actually probably know more about this game then I do, if you just read the back. Insomniac has served itself a death sentence with this game, and with it, comes my hesitation to play the next 2 games.
