Wonder what happened to Nathan Hale?  Find out on November 4th!

Coming to a PlayStation 3 console near you, Resistance 2 has an official release date.  We’ve seen previous screens and gameplay, so there’s no doubt that the 2nd wave of Chimera will be a hit!  For $59.99 you can pick up yourself Resistance 2 and experience Nathan Hale’s quest as it begins in good ole San Francisco.

Looking for the upgrade, the special edition priced at $79.99 comes with added benefits:

• Copy of Resistance 2 with special edition cover artwork.
• A double-sided art book covering “war-torn America from two unique perspectives.”
• A bonus DVD with a behind-the-scenes video, a preview of an upcoming Resistance 2 novel, a Resistance chronology video, and a digital copy of issue #0 of the Resistance comic.
• An exclusive in-game HVAP Wraith multiplayer weapon skin.
• And last but not least, a Chimera Hybrid action figure created by DC Unlimited.

Multiplayer and the aspect of the game I’ve been looking forward to, co-op, will have a beta session in October.  Here are the 3 ways to possible be selected:

1. Pre-order Resistance 2 from a participating retailer
2. Purchase Qore episode 3 (annual subscribers already entered)
3. Apply for the beta at Insomniac’s official site, but there’s no guarantee your name will be picked.

Regardless of what people might say, Banjo-Kazooie has been a good series that, while definitely inferior to the Mario franchise (but which isn’t?), showed off what a great developer Rare was. They’ve had their fair share of duds (i.e. Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo), but this year might be good for the British team.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is due November 18 to the tune of a surprisingly cheap $39.99. As an incentive for pre-ordering the game, buyers will get a code to download the original N64 Banjo-Kazooie two weeks prior to the release of the XBLA re-release…for free.

We kind of like the idea of getting free stuff when we pre-order games around here, especially when the full game is $20 cheaper than the bloated regular price of other titles.

You guys plan on taking Rare up on their pre-order offer? Here’s a video of what you can look forward to if you do:
