Stargate Resistance is a third-person shooter based on the television series Stargate SG-1. It is set during the second decade of the Stargate Program and after the end of Stargate SG-1. The game sees the return of the System Lords as they attempt to re-enslave the galaxy and it is up to Stargate Command(SGC) to stop them.
With the exception of the third-person shooter, Stargate: Resistance, and a cancelled MMO by the name of Stargate: Worlds, gamers haven’t had much opportunity to explore the rich Stargate universe within the medium of gaming.
Great article. I also love Stargate, and really wish we had more games from this awesome IP. I was in the Alpha for Stargate Worlds. It was really ambitious, had a ton of things they wanted to do, and even with the bugs in the Alpha grouping up was fun and exploring the worlds they had open at the time was great. Lots of bugs, but that’s to be expected of an Alpha. Had fun reporting all of the bugs as well, some hilarious and others game breaking. Then, all of a sudden, we got an email thanking us for our time, but it was over and gone. Bam! Oh well... What could’ve been...
We need a AAA studio to pick one of these up, because there's lots of opportunity because every world can be different. I mean even if Ubisoft picked it up, they could outsource several of the worlds to their different studios and it would still work.

Allan Muir of ToasterChimp posits the question, are games based on the Stargate franchise cursed?
Meh, as much as I love stargate I'll never buy this game after the scams Cheyenne pulled.
