For those unfamiliar with the Red Faction franchise, this longstanding action series takes place far in the future, when mankind has turned the planet Mars and into a mining colony.Previous games were notable partly because of the ability to blow up pa...

Sadly, Armageddon's greatest achievement is making a game centred on smashing buildings with a gigantic space mallet less engaging than knocking thumbtacks into a corkboard with a pin hammer. Quite a feat. Taking an open-world game set on the expa...

Fun, satisfying gory third-person shooter. Some excellent weapons. Graphics are really quite pretty.

Storyline is a little lacklustre, things are linear and repetitive.

Red Faction: Armageddon is composed of two very distinct games. One is an extension of Red Faction: Guerrilla; in this game, you destroy buildings and structures with reckless abandon, and new weapons allow you to wreak ridiculous amounts of carnage. T...

There are some great new weapons and modes that allow you to wreak havoc on the environment, but Red Faction: Armageddon is stifled by linear action sequences and dull storytelling...

When I first started playing Red Faction: Armageddon I was a little confused. Wait I am supposed to take a hammer and smash a wall? Ok…BOOM goes the wall. Pretty darn cool. So for a while I went around all smashy smashy. Well what do you know, thi...

Red Faction Guerilla was no Citizen Kane. It was a fairly straightforward game that allowed players to embark upon mental destruction sprees leveling everything in sight. Was it a deep meaningful experience? Umm no. Did it provide hours of mindless e...

The Red Faction series has had a tumultuous history, from the intriguing linear adventure of the 2001 original to the joys of the open-world sandbox rendition of Mars found in 2008's excellent Guerrilla. The one common thread tying the entire series to...

The original Red Faction games had the knack of attracting gamers' attention and then disappearing as quickly from view. However, Red Faction: Guerrilla bucked that trend by becoming one of the more popular games of 2009. It took the "everything can be...

One sign of a great game is when you never notice it's repetitive. Anyone can be reductive and distill a game down to a few key mechanics that are repeated, but it's up to the level design, enemy A.I., and a host of other factors to keep it interesting...

Despite its forgettable story and pacing issues with the campaign, Red Faction: Armageddon is good fun for letting out your inner destructive child. They ability to tear apart and repair the environments at will is a hook that keeps working, and when t...

Despite a few flaws, 2009's Red Faction: Guerrilla did several things extremely well. Namely, it told an amazing story about a group of rebels who picked away at a tyrannical government until it fell, and it provided a huge, open world in which you cou...
