Resistance 3 has finally been completed and gone gold, which means the game will ready for you to get your hands on soon!  How soon? Well how about September 6th which is next month boys and girls!  To celebrate the game being finished and shipped of for mass production, Insomniac Games released a new gameplay trailer.  It shows what the final game will look like and a few extra scenes previously unreleased.  It’s very exiting to know that the game is finished and being “printed” on-to discs.

When you finally get your game and put it into your PS3 be sure to check out all the  nice interesting extras that will be packed into the Blu-ray disk.  Along with the game you will also get demos of Killzone 3, MotorStorm Apocalypse, and inFAMOUS 2. Killzone 3 and MotorStorm Apocalypse are also available in 3D, how awesome is that?!  If you’ve already played those games then why not check out the trailers for UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception, Starhawk, God of War: Origins, and SOCOM 4. Still think that Blu-Ray disk can hold more you say? Well, you’re absolutely right which is why Insomniac decided to include some movie trailers and music from Sony Pictures and Sony Music.

One very important message to everyone who purchased SOCOM 4, the public beta for Resistance 3 will begin today so make sure you get those codes out and start getting on that game.  It will be plenty of fun and is sure to be a great entertaining time.  So be sure to check out the video below and enjoy.

Tattoo man himself, Peter Moore has been promoted at EA. Already the head of EA’s sport’s department, Moore has been given the position of COO of EA. This marks EA’s first hierarchy shift since establishing its label structure in 2007.

“First, I think it’s a great reflection on EA that we are able to tap so much world-class leadership from within our own ranks. The depth of talent and leadership in this company is inspiring,” said EA CEO John Riccitiello.

“Second, as I look across EA and back on its history, I come to an important realization. The people who succeed here are the ones who map their creative vision over a deep understanding of what our consumers want. Our Label structure reflects that strategy. It creates a close partnership between developers and product marketers that connects the creative process to our consumers.”

Among others promoted was Frank Gibeau, Former head of the EA Games division, now President of the EA Labels.

Also Bioware has officially become a “label” of EA, joining the likes of EA Games, EA SPORTS, and EA Play
