On October 16th, Resistance 2 Beta codes were sent out to a “Premiere” group.  Second wave coming next week.

The latest Resistance 2 news has left us kinda sad.  Why, you ask?  Cause we didn’t get our R2 Beta Codes.  So after some investigation I felt better.  I had a coke and a smile…  I read on blog.playstation that there are 2 waves of Beta code for Resistance 2.

Premeire Wave:
a Premiere wave which includes those that pre-ordered at GameStop, individuals who subscribed to QORE for one year and/or bought the episode featuring Resistance 2 and a recent contest from GamePro.com. Those of you in the Premiere wave should be receiving an email with a registration code between now and tomorrow afternoon.

2nd Wave & Europe:
A second wave is starting in the middle of next week, and you apply to be a part of it by going to beta.myresistance.net once the site goes live (later tonight). For those of you across the pond in Europe, the public beta will also begin next week.

Keep ya head up kid, There’s always Next Week!

This week we surf the waves of yet another Swedish rock act; Khoma, and the song “Medea“, from 2006’s The Second Wave. Other recommendations from the same album are “Stop Making Speeches”, “Through Walls” and “One of Us Must Hang”.

Khoma is the mellower, alternative metal oriented outfit of Cult of Luna mastermind Johannes Persson, who together with Jan Jämte (vocals) and fellow Cult of Luna bassist Fredrik Kihlberg (guitars, piano) started Khoma to do something more, mainstream, if you will.

Johannes Persson is also the Swedish equivalent to Canada’s Cevin Key (Skinny Puppy, Download, etc), in that he is a workaholic. Managing two bands at the same time, however, is what keeps the creative juices flowing, according Persson himself.

In 2003, Khoma’s (then Koma) debut album caught the music industry with storm, only one year after Cult of Luna’s second album, and one year ahead of Cult of Luna’s third, conceptual magnum opus; Salvation. In 2006, the follow-up to Khoma’s debut was released, with great critical acclaim, as well as the fourth, and most successful Culf of Luna album to date; Somewhere Along The Highway. Johannes Persson was the musical, lyrical and creative force behind each and everyone of these releases.

Khoma is currently recording their third studio album, and just this past week Cult of Luna released their fifth album, Eternal Kingdom. Check them out, and if you like it please support the artists. Always try before you buy. Just like it should be with games… But that’s another story for another post.
