When Darius Mason, grandson of revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, unknowingly releases a long-dormant evil, Armageddon is unleashed on Mars.

Half a century after the Red Faction resistance freed Mars, the red planet again becomes a battleground.

Utilizing Darius’ Nano Forge abilities, players are presented with a wealth of new strategic options including reconstruction technology and the Magnet Gun in their battle to save humanity. Leveraging Volition’s groundbreaking Geo-Mod 2.0 technology, Red Faction: Armageddon offers never-before-seen physics-based weaponry that redefines gameplay in the shooter genre.

As Darius Mason, players fight to save humanity from an even greater evil that threatens to extinguish all life on the planet.

It doesn't matter that it doesn't look as hot as Crysis 2 (and honestly, I have had more fun with Red Faction than I did with Crysis 2, but that's probably just me) when you're tearing down a makeshift shelter using grenades and machine gun fire, desperately trying to defend yourself from an approaching horde of Martian monsters.Red Faction: Armageddon moves beneath the surface of Mars as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. It's popcorn-entertainment, a good game to spend a couple of hours with, and it performs that job splendidly. In an age where we stare ourselves blind at blockbuster games with the hottest graphics and blockbuster moments, we tend to judge games like Red Faction: Armageddon way more harshly than they deserve. Red Faction: Armageddon is simply entertaining, which goes a long way. The story has its moments, but despite some good voice acting it doesn't really manage to grip me. The graphics look good, but are far from spectacular. The controls work, they do what they are meant to do. It delivers exactly that, and nothing more. That's not to say that it's an amazing game in any way.
