Although Resistance 1 had good production values, it was nothing special.

Can't say I'm surprised..

Also, the amount of A+ games coming out in these last few months is crazy. I myself had to pass on many games, because there are too many good ones coming out. Especially in this genre.

Since there were few other ps3 games out when the first Resistance came out, this really isn't that surprising
