Originally a Sega news and reviews fansite, UK Resistance expanded its coverage across all formats, and developed a style depending more on satirical updates rather than its original UK news and reviews content.
The site officially closed on March 29, 2011[1] The website is frequently referenced by games industry media, and its exposure led to a writer's position at Sega Saturn Magazine for Gary Cutlack.
[2] The website has been described by Edge as the place where "Europe's Sega cognoscenti gathered to discuss the burning issues of the day",[3] and by Wired gaming blog as "the popular taking-on-the-industry slam page".
As UK Resistance themselves put it, "We want to play in a HAPPY PRETEND LAND, not a shit version of an American slum full of mixed-race gangsters wearing licensed sportswear!".
[8] In October 2007, UK Resistance was voted Best Non-Commercial Website or Blog at the inaugural Games Media Awards held at the Soho Revue Bar in London.
