They’ll Block Out the Sun … and Hell Follows Them.’

I saw this ad for Resistance 2 last night while watching Fringe. Maybe it was the context, or the very large screen, but I found it deliciously chilling.

Product footage and ‘net research reveals it’s just another shooter game with an old premise: mankind versus an alien race.

Meh. How very Stargate SG-1, circa ’98.

Somehow I thought Resistance 2 would be richer, like Heroes before everybody had a power, or like Fringe, which has me stuck on genetic manipulation, corporate conspiracies and string theory.

Where’s my MMOG?
