James Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/ Not sure how many people here read this, maybe none, but this web-site was always good for a laugh and for there general hated of all things Sony and for there 'blue skies in games' campaign. My personnel highlights were the 'baby p' post they did. http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2009/01/sick-baby-p-simulator-peddled-by.html Their Animal Crossing review. They put hours into AC and just showed off what they had earned. http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2006/12/there-is-only-one-game-of-2006/ 50 Reasons to buy outrun2 http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2004/09/50-reasons-to-buy-outrun2-today/ They loved games because they were fun not because they looked cool and grim.
EddieColeslaw Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Haha, I liked the Animal Crossing review. My favourite AC-related thing: The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing.
Dog-amoto Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 First Uncle Clive, now this. Though UK:R went off the boil ages ago. Sad day
James Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 First Uncle Clive, now this. Though UK:R went off the boil ages ago. Sad day It did it did but maybe that's because they fell out of love with gaming. Glad there was at least someone else who has heard of this great site.
Pancake Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I just had a quick skim read, it seems funny, and the kind of writing style i like. Shame it's going down!
Ten10 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Yeah I used to read it quite regularly. I think he shut it down on Monday even MCV wrote about it sort of verifying it wasn't an early April fools joke. I guess it's just down to the stagnant nature of the games industry. You can only make the same joke so many times before it just gets a bit sad. Will miss the blue skies in games campaign and the spach miel en frie (extreme sp) red theme they had a while back. The hatred for all thing sony was funny. One that comes to mind was when sony announced the price of the PS3 and they had an image of Kaz Hirai crossing his fingers.
Iun Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I got 2 posts on UK:R! It always made me smile. But, so sad now... I was kind of praying it was an April Fools. So long as Idiot Toys keeps going...
Jimbob Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 And there was me thinking this was to do with Libya. Not heard of this site until today. But, it's always sad to see a site vanish.
Rummy Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Man, I never knew anyone shared my hatred of all things Sony!
Iun Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Man, I never knew anyone shared my hatred of all things Sony! Welcome, Brother, we've been waiting for you...
Dog-amoto Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I miss TV Go Home. Charlie Brooker's finest hour. http://www.tvgohome.com/ Go through the archives. I especially love the holiday special
Haver Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Aigoo. I must admit I haven't visited in ages but UKR will be missed. The Triforce doesn't get updated much either
