Take the role of Nathan Hale as you attempt to hold off an alien invasion that has overrun most of the United States using a number of unique sci-fi weapons. Resistance 2 manages to take the solid foundation established in the original game and expand it with massive environments set in cities such as Chicago and San Francisco as well as putting you up against gargantuan, skyscraper-sized alien opponents looking to demolish a city. Offering a full single-player campaign, a separate 8-player cooperative campaign, and enormous 60-player competitive multiplayer battles, Resistance 2 offers a lot of gameplay in one tidy package.

Forget Lara Croft…Nathan Drake is the new king of tomb raiding. Travel through the ruins of an ancient civilization as you crawl, climb, and leap your way through a search for an ancient treasure. Uncharted offers a bevy of thrilling shootouts and stunningly detailed graphics that make each area feel alive, as well as Gears-style cover mechanics and thrilling platform/climbing gameplay that comes together to form a non-stop, 12-hour adventure that will leave you hungry for more.
