E3 Hands-On: Resistance 3 Multiplayer

Of all of the assorted kiosks that were available to play after the Sony E3 press briefing, there was just something about the Resistance 3 multiplayer preview that seemed to be calling out to me.  This was particularly odd to me, especially considering how middling my opinions have been about prior...

I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but I have a strange fondness for Japanese cute-em-ups. In fact, the console port of Konami’s original Otomedius is one of the reasons I bought a Japanese Xbox 360.  With 2D side-scrolling shooters not as popular as they once were, it is indeed a rare event...
