One of the more criminally overlooked titles for the PS3, the Resistance franchise continues to put out some of the most impressive and imaginative games for Sony exclusively. It was a big week for the game as well, with a handful of screenshots being released last week, a new trailer debuting at the VGAs, and–most importantly—an official release date being announced.

The game takes place in an alternate history, where World War II never happened due to an alien invasion by a race called the Chimera. The remaining humans banded together to form a global resistance, but things are going poorly for the humans against the far more technologically advanced Chimeras. The first game took place in an occupied England, while the second took you to the shores of America. The third game also takes place in what is left of America, as you fight both the Chimera, and the warped remains of the human race.

Resistance 3 is a PS3 exclusive from Insomniac Games. It is set for release on September 6, 2011.

How to rank up fast in Modern Warfare 3: best ways to farm XP

Every year when the new Call of Duty title drops, the playing field is once again reset as everyone needs to start grinding back up the ranks. Fully embracing the RPG elements, Modern Warfare 3 once again allows you to earn XP as you play match after match to rank up your character, with each rank not only bringing you closer to hitting prestige but also unlocking new options for your chosen operator. Your player rank is unique from your weapon levels and can take a lot longer to grind if you don't know the most efficient methods. If you want to fast-track your career through the ranks, here are the fastest ways to earn XP in Modern Warfare 3.
How to earn XP fast in Modern Warfare 3
There's basically no way you can play Modern Warfare 3 without earning XP, but some modes and methods can earn you double (or more) what you could if you were just playing without a plan.
Play the objective

We all love playing team deathmatch or any other mode where all you need to worry about is being the one to shoot first. However, if you want to earn that sweet XP fast, you need to choose one of the objective modes like Domination, Hardpoint, Ground War, or even Kill Confirmed. Not only do you get XP for killing enemies, but the amount you get on top of that for playing the objective can make up the bulk of your XP gain. This is especially true if you're not at the top of your game and end up dying more than you kill since you have another method to contribute. Also, objective modes grant you an XP bonus just for finishing the match.

Marathon: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

A planet floats in the sky in Marathon.

After saying goodbye to the incredible Halo franchise, developer Bungie moved on to break new ground in the live-service space with btwo Destinytitles. It has been supporting these two games for nearly a decade now, but we have finally seen what else has been in the works.

To the surprise of many, it is actually a return to the studio's earliest franchise, Marathon. Those original titles were made in the same style as the original Doom games, but this new reboot of sorts is going in a very different direction. Bungie has proven that they're the masters of sci-fi shooters, so let's go the distance and cover everything we know about Marathon.
