Looking Forward: Red Faction Armageddon

I was pretty late to the party with, Red Faction Guerilla, 2009's Mars set, open world game from Volition/THQ. When I got round to playing I was well aware of it's pedigree and the fun that could be had from the game's main hook; an ability to destroy buildings by explosive means, or by using a sledgehammer weapon.

So, keeping in mind that Volition also produced the underrated gem that is Saint's Row 2, I'm prepared to anticipate the upcoming Red Faction sequel, even if it seems a bit of a step backwards.

It's all gone a bit Dead Space (which is on my pile of shame, for unjustly unfinished games) and it's also reverted to a largely underground setting, reminiscent of the PS2 based original.

Now, as long as it still maintains the enjoyable level of destruction, it's likely to prove satisfying. The trailers suggests the game may be going for a few shocks and scares, to accompany the carnage. This can only be a good thing.

As I'm expecting to say a lot over the next few days, expect to find out more when E3 rolls around.
