Welcome to 2004! It's been several years since the run of The X-Files has ended on TV, and the show is slowly coming out on DVDs, when Vivendi Universal releases a survival horror game set in the X-Files universe, presented as missing episodes written by a series writer and starring the main characters of the show voiced by its actual cast, packed with extras like storyboards and behind-the-scenes footage.

Resist or Serve was developed by Black Ops Entertainment, a company unknown for a few mediocre movie-based games and boxing titles for EA Sports, still struggling to repeat the success of its PS1 classic Treasures of the Deep. Resist or Serve wouldn't give the studio that success due to the designers' severe lack of imagination: you fight zombies pretty much the entire game, and their only feature is that they take many hits to kill. Normally.

We won't be playing normally, though. We will use a cheat that lets you kill regular enemies with a single hit. And invincibility.

EXTRAS

As someone who rarely watches video Let's Plays, you did a pretty good job presenting the game. Too bad it seems like a very clunky and generic game though, it seems like there was a lot of genuine effort put in, but it went into all the wrong places.

'Hey, Scully, I've found a quick way to get to where we ne–'
'Start jacking, Mulder'

People of 2022, what protective gear Scully doesn't wear for the autopsy?

The situation takes a turn for the INFRA.

Scully's side: autopsy, timed death, crafting puzzles.
Mulder's side: You need a red keycard to open this door.

The puzzle design and premises are somehow getting dumber every step of the way.



Also, really, you map your secret base by X-raying it from space?

Mulder's side of the episode is even more of a joke.

Today Mulder, Scully, and I are in Russia, which as tradition dictates is a miserable place.

Is a guy escaping into a closet literally the only highlight of Scully's entire campaign?

Gulag intensifies.

Come see Mulder punch an old man for five minutes

Even the storyboards go from super detailed to "camera zooms in on Mulder's face."
