Resistance’s rather odd twin

alien and resistance

Maybe the world doesn’t really have an infinite supply of ideas. In our current realities now, there are probably a few remaining things that haven’t been done already before. Fashion come and go. Hairstyles come and go. Pop culture is a recurring theme and the gaming industry is not at all spared.

Just take a look at this very peculiar similarity. We’re pretty sure that you are all familiar with the picture on the right side. Why, of course, it’s from the newly released FPS title Resistance: Fall of Man from Insomniac Games. The object of curiosity now is the one on the left. Believe it or not, it also came from a game: Atari 7800’s Alien Brigade. Then it goes a bit more eerie. Here’s the game’s overview:

Alien Brigade is a first person shoot’em up in the vein of Area 51 via Atari 7800. Aliens have invaded the planet and have taken over the bodies of an army brigade. It’s up to you to squash the illegal aliens and rid the Earth of it’s foremost threat to civilization.

We don’t want to read any comments saying Resistance pwned Alien Brigade, okay? The game, for Christ’s sake, is from way before. We’re just saying that it’s a rather interesting similarity. There. You can go back hunting down Chimeras now.
