Gran Turmiso 5, inFAMOUS 2, LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm Apocalypse have all benefited from an\u00a0extensive online marketing campaign that has been focused around Facebook. Many of these Facebook ‘Apps’ provide users with 5 minutes of fun with the biggest draw being the\u00a0ability\u00a0to unlock in-game rewards, PlayStation Home goodies or the odd theme here and there. With Killzone 3 SCEE really pushed the boat out, with their extremely inventive ISA\u00a0Ultimate\u00a0Recruit program, that\u00a0bypassed Facebook in favour of a\u00a0dedicated website. Things went a little wrong with the inFAMOUS 2 Anarchy game. It was\u00a0basically an Empire City-flavoured edition of Farmville, and it was as much fun as sticking your finger into a plug socket (for those wondering that’s not very fun at all)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So we were a little wary when Sony and\u00a0Insomniac\u00a0Games announced Global Resistance<\/a><\/em>, another free-to play online game compliment their upcoming PS3 exclusive FPS – Resistance 3. However this time is not tied to Facebook, which instantly makes things a little more\u00a0bearable. Although not as involved as the Killzone 3 marketing campaign, Global Resistance<\/a><\/em> does have it’s own website, which works in\u00a0conjunction\u00a0with the Resistance series hub –\u00a0myresistance.ne<\/a>t<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Players of Global Resistance<\/a><\/em> can take take part in a\u00a0strategy-based\u00a0worldwide war between the Humans and the\u00a0Chimera. It’s actually surprisingly fun and as a added bonus achieving certain milestones will award you with unlockable concept art, videos and more importantly in-game rewards such as multiplayer skins, XP boosters and in-game titles. So it’s\u00a0definitely\u00a0worth giving it a go, you can join the Resistance here<\/a>,\u00a0you’ll need to login via a Facebook. Connection with the PlayStation Network is due closer to the games release this September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
