Resistance is Futile

Microsoft’s Gears of War 2 and Sony’s Resistance 2 are both expected to be big sellers in the run-up to Christmas.

This Christmas, both Sony and Microsoft are placing their bets on a bunch of ugly aliens and a couple of anti-heroes who are almost as ugly. The massive gaming companies are going head-to-head in the build-up to the crucial holiday sales season with two much anticipated and very similar titles, Resistance 2 and Gears of War 2.

Traditionally, the November and December shopping months are the biggest for the gaming industry, and these two releases promise to be the shopping season’s crown jewels.
