Well my toddler destroyed 2 tray-loaded devices by pushing/snapping the tray down bare-handed (He knew how to turn on and press the eject button after a short time). You can also stuff food into tray-loaded devices through the narrow gap when it's opened. I like slot loaded devices better.
Point taken. But with a slot-drive, you don't even have to push a button to stuff anything in.
About the scratching though, I don't see how slot is worse off...if anything I would think it would be less likely to scratch since you don't run the risk of placing it in the tray wrong or not putting it on there properly and having the tray "bend" or scratch it when it goes in.
I think the double-whammy comparison of Resistance to both Call Of Duty and Halo almost in the same sentence is the internet equivalent to wearing an I'm-just-a-casual-gamer-and-really-not-into-that-"shooter"-thing t-shirt.
How tf ... there are so obvious differences between these two franchises both in style and fundamental gameplay mechanics. A games journalist should gain the ability to recognize such intricacies at some point in his/her career IMO. Not just say that Resistance is somehow like both of them.

What do you find "unfair" about that? It is just another FPS, and it should be judged as such. Unless you can tell me something new and radical about it that sets it apart from every other FPS, aside from the fact that it's a PS3 launch game.
coz his Resistance comment seems to be based on the limited brown-n-grey Nottingham demo 
The alien architecture/world should be blue. The MP maps also sound interesting based on more indepth previews on other sites.
Resistance does emit the "yet-another-FPS" feeling, but if the weapon strategy, enemy AI, story and maps work well, it can be a very good FPS. No one outside Insomniacs has played through the entire game yet... such is life I guess.

You need to carefully reread what he said. You have taken 2 small snips about 2 games and relative comparisons about those games, and put them into a wrong context. The COD comparison was about the similarity in world (bombed out Europe) and how the Scripting&Action of COD was better in his opinion; and with Halo it was a small comment about the Aliens and the Sounds (in a positive light). It was NOT a wholesale comparison -- especially of gameplay mechanics as you harp. Pretty unfair criticism IMO because he isn't comparing the "fundamental gameplay mechanics" you suggest -- only drawing a line of comparison, to certain aspects of the game, to other well known games his audiance may resonate with.
lol i really wonder what you need to into journalism nowadays, that culdve been the worst and poorly written article. And to post first an opinion whether or not its ugly to him- Its completly opinionated lol. But the new 360 updates are wicked- But taken in- Why would I listen to yahoo lol. comparing resistance to gears of war is jut plain dumb- gOw is going to be the best 3rd person action game ever. its not even a FPS.
