Dude, My thoughts exactly on this game. I thought it was a pretty cool concept. This would've been better on a portable platform. Oddly enough, it gave me flashbacks of Marc Ecko's Getting Up. Must have been all the graffiti. Awesome read though. Keep it up.
I for one welcome this update and DLC. It's worth picking the whole thing up for $12. It also makes me sick to my stomach all this Forza vs. GT5 flaming fanboyism. To each his own and enjoy your games. Each game has it's strengths and weaknesses. Nothing is ever perfect...apart from a GT-R...and scarlett Johansson...and mac and cheese...Or Scarlett personally delivering your new GT-R holding a bowl of awesome mac and cheese.

Why you ask? WHY!? LOL well friends, because videogame. That's why.
Dude, AWESOME review. This game looks as solid as ever. I was debating either getting this or Killzone 3 (not sure why lol) But reading this review has rekindled that love for Resistance that I miss. *Insert English accent* Brilliant!
Awesome review... Can't wait to get my hands on this game. A good hack-and-slash has been absent for quite some time and it's most certainly welcome.
I'm glad you used InFAMOUS as an example as it is one of the best examples where one's shadow is portrayed. It's one of those rare games where your choice affects the gameplay. But overall, morality plays a huge part in it as well as in the real world as well. You said it yourself "You could learn a lot about yourself by how you play your games." This is very true. In a sense, it provides a mirror to yourself and lets you see the cause and effect of your otherwise good or bad decisions. However, this is my favorite quote from the article: "The Shadow aspect is that part of our being that is capable of animalistic and inhuman acts. We all have it in us to commit foul deeds, from adultery to murder; we just usually choose to ignore this aspect or simply pretend it isn’t there. Jung believed that one couldn’t truly know the Self if they didn’t accept their Shadow Self. By accepting your Shadow Self you admit that while capable of indecent acts you assume control over the Shadow and prevent it from taking over.
Individuals who refuse to admit that they possess the ability to commit these acts are in much greater danger of being consumed by the Shadow. In the video games we play, our villains are often times manifestations of either our, or our avatars’, Shadow self, which can make for some extraordinarily effective antagonists." Honestly one of the best reads i've had in a long time. Keep up the awesome job dude.
