Line 9:
''Resistance'' is a series of [[First-Person Shooter|First-Person Shooters]] (beginning with ''Resistance: Fall of Man'') by Insomniac. Yes, the guys who did ''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'' and ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]''.
 
[[Alternate History|In this era]], [[World War OneI]] was mostly contained to Europe and its ideological fallout greatly diminished by the lack of US intervention and the triumph of the Russian Monarchy over the Bolsheviks. With the only conflict being a simmering tension with Moscow, and with the lack of American capital to fuel rebuilding- and to go under during the Great Depression- the nations of Europe are forced to unite to both reconstruct themselves and to contain the Russian Czar, who isolates Russia from the world behind the 'Red Curtain'. As a result, the mutual hostility within the West largely fades away and the the economy is quickly rebuilt. As such, [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Joseph Stalin]], [[Mao Zedong]], [[Benito Mussolini]], and their compatriots never rise to power, and [[World War Two]] never happens.
 
Or, rather, never in a way humanity could have predicted.
Line 19:
Cue a long slog through the UK, and the destruction of a Chimeran Angel (more or less a telepathic General) which allows the humans to kick the Chimera out of Britain and allows a stalemate in the European theater to ensue. In the end Hale is kidnapped by American troops for unknown reasons.
 
''Resistance: Fall of Man'' came out on the same day as the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]], and was the system's [[Killer App]] for several months as Sony tried to figure out what they were doing.
 
Insomniac released ''Resistance 2'' in 2008. In that, the US has captured a strange Angel called "Daedalus". Its appearance has caused the Chimera to greatly increase their tactical capabilities, and they have [[It Got Worse|stage a massive invasion of the United States from the West and East coast]]. Nathan Hale is put in a platoon of soldiers who can also resist the Chimera virus and sent to track down the Russian scientist who can stop Daedalus. Notable for hinting at major revelations regarding the origin of the Chimera. The [[ARG]] ''Project Abraham'' was a lead up to ''Resistance 2'' that detailed what happened before ''Fall of Man''.
