Resistance 3 early access beta code giveaway! [All codes have been claimed!]

By Ryan Fleming August 1, 2011

Ok peoples, here’s the deal: We have 25 beta codes to give away for the upcoming first person-shooter, Resistance 3, and once they are gone, they are gone. We considered several ways to choose who to give these two, but our lawyers claimed that most of our ideas were not just illegal, but possibly even immoral. So we settled on giving the first twenty-five posters their very own multiplayer beta code for the game. But these aren’t just any old beta codes, these are early access codes.

For those that have been following the game, you may already know that the PlayStation Plus subscribers will gain access to the beta on August 23, and those that purchased SOCOM 4 will have their codes activated on August 4. But waiting is for suckers, so these codes are active right now. Just post a comment below stating why you want a code, and the first 25 people will be able to check out the multiplayer today.

Resistance 3 continues the story of an alt-timeline humanity as we welcome our new alien overlords. But rather than just invading, the Chimera have decided to be done with the lot of us and wipe us out. This doesn’t sit well with the last Joseph Capelli who happens to be human, so four years after the events of Resistance 2, he rejoins the fight and heads on a last, desperate mission.

But none of that matters at the moment. While the single-player campaign is among the biggest of the year, the multiplayer is what will keep gamers coming back. We had a chance to play it at GDC earlier this year, and fans of competitive online shooters should be paying attention.

Resistance 3 will be released as a PS3 exclusive on September 6. But if you want a chance to try out the beta now before anyone else, simply post a comment below (no double posting). And go!

The best PS3 games of all time

It’s hard to believe that the release of the PS3 was over a decade ago. During that time, video game graphics and gameplay have only gotten more realistic with PS4 games and will only get even better with the PS5.

Despite all the advancements and new consoles, you may sometimes be in the mood to revisit some of your favorite games that you played as a kid or teenager. Sifting through all the old PS3 games can feel overwhelming, but if you’re trying to figure out which games are still worth your time, we’ve compiled a list of recommendations. We've also gathered a list of the best PS1 games and PS2 games for the sake of nostalgia.

The Nintendo Switch just got 2 surprise games — and they’re both worth grabbing

A teddy beat sits on an embroidery hoop in Stitch.

If you were unable to catch this week's Nintendo IndieWorld showcase, then you missed a surprisingly loaded show. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes got a May release date, WayForward showed off its Yars' Revenge revival, and Steamworld Heist 2 got an exciting reveal. In the midst of all those headlines, two smaller games were surprise released on the platform: Stitch and Sticky Business. Don't sleep on either of them, as they're both worth a purchase.

Both games are ports of previously released games, but both went a bit under the radar upon their original launch. Sticky Business modestly launched last summer on PC, whereas Stitch has actually been around since 2022 as an Apple Arcade exclusive. The latter even has an Apple Vision Pro version now that can be played in mixed reality. I can't blame anyone for missing either, but their Switch releases offer a good opportunity to catch up with some quiet hidden gems.
