A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG or MMO) is a computer game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, and is played on the Internet. Typically, this type of game is played in a giant persistent world. MMOs can enable players to compete with and against each other on a grand scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. Most MMOs require players to invest large amounts of their time into the game. Many MMOs can be found free on the Internet.

So much has been said about Resistance: Fall of Man over the course of the last twelve months that your opinion has likely already been influenced one way or another. That's the folly of journalism - you're just one voice amongst the masses. What make IGN a little different is that we can take different angles within the site; each region can cover any game and apply any mark - within reason of course. For Resistance, the US clearly loved the title, giving it a very generous 9.1. The UK were a little less convinced by the experience (a respectable 8.0), and having logged a lot of hours into both the single and multiplayer components of the game, we tend to side with them.
Resistance is a good game; really good in fact. We enjoyed the story - an alternate, early 1950s encounter with aliens who are spreading outwards from Russia, slowly infecting the population and wreaking havoc as they move. We enjoyed the typically brilliant weapons - a trademark of Insomniac Games' other series, Ratchet & Clank. We savoured the 40-player multiplayer games, where chaos reigned and bullets rained. But the whole of Resistance, the overall experience of playing the final game, just doesn't blow our collective skirts up the way we hoped it would.
