For the hardcore Insomniac Games fans out there, you are already going to be familiar with Skill Points. The concept of Skill Points first came into play several years ago with Insomniac's release of Spyro the Dragon: Ripto's Rage. They continued the tradition into the Ratchet and Clank series and now the tradition continues with the latest console and Resistance: Fall of Man.
Skill Points are earned by completing "feats" throughout the game. Sometimes you will earn them by accident, while other times you will have to actively seek out the task. Each Skill Point has a point value assigned to it and the more of these points you earn, the more extras you unlock for your game. Some Skill Points can be earned anytime during the game, while others can only be picked up during certain parts of the game. I have broken down these Skill Points for you below as well as listed the rewards for having achieved them.
