A new Resistance space opens in PlayStation Home today. The new area features a recreation of the Chicago Railway Station level from Resistance 2, and players are tasked with fending off the Chimeran aerial forces with a four barreled, quick repeating turret gun.

Find your way to the new Resistance Space via the PlayStation Home World Map, bearing in mind the space is a gated area only open to users over the age of 18. But hurry because the first 3000 users to redeem the promotional code on a poster in the space will receive a free Resistance T-shirt for their avatar.

It’s official: Insomniac Games was recently named one of “California’s Best Places to Work” in the latest Employers Group survey, ranking number five in the roundup - the only videogame company to make the list in a state that can safely be called the ‘Hollywood of Gaming.’

This award represents Insomniac’s eighth ‘best workplace’ honour since 2005, despite what must have been torturous development cycles over the years, working on Resistance, moving straight onto work on Ratchet and Clank Future, and then Resistance 2 and Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty, while simultaneously opening its new North Carolina studio. Wow.

Additionally, to mark and celebrate their upcoming 15th anniversary, all of Insomniac’s employees (and partners) are going on a cruise to the Bahamas. That doesn’t begin to explain the company perks you get if you work at Insomniac, as the following cheesy video will demonstrate (yes, it’s old, but still kinda funny… kinda).

Congrats, Insomniac!
