Despite the guilty pleasures of Red Faction: Guerilla, all it took was one sub-par game in the series (Red Faction: Armageddon) for publisher THQ to, at least temporarily, pull the plug on the series. Which is a damn shame. More »

You want videos from the GameStop Expo 2008 in Las Vegas? Oh we've got videos.

Highlights include the exclusive Gears 2 footage seen here, complete with a sincere message from Dude Huge, who couldn't make it due to being busy making us a new video game, a brief snippet of Peter Moore introducing Fight Night Round 4, Ozzy Freaking Ozborne shilling Guitar Hero World Tour and tons of GameStop managers from all over the country cheering as they are filled with the information to secure pre-sales and therefor their precious, precious jobs.

Are These Red Faction III Screens? [UPDATE]

Luke Plunkett — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:00:00 EST

Maybe. And if you asked how they popped up, I'd say they were stolen (they're originally from a small Dutch forum). Which would explain why they're so rough, because only an early, early build of a game would look that bad. And how many companies would willingly release screens looking like this? So ignore the textures, etc, and focus more on the unique...brown, militaristic sci-fi setting. Oh, and that it looks to have ditched the first-person view in favour of third-person, which would make running around a brown, sci-fi setting wielding an enormous hammer a lot easier on your depth perception.

New Aliens, Red Faction Games Christened

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 23:40:00 EST

Next month's Game Informer has the scoop on two big-name upcoming shooters. One is Gearbox's Aliens game, the other Volition's third Red Faction title. While the mag's not out yet, leaving us frustratingly short on info and screens, we can see that both games at least have snappy new subtitles, making it all the easier for us to differentiate them from past titles in the series/franchise. "Gearbox's Aliens game" can now be referred to as Aliens: Colonial Marines. What, I hear you ask, no Aliens, no Predator, no vs? Not a big surprise: we've heard the game is based very closely on the look/feel of Jim Cameron's film and Syd Mead's designs. "Red Faction III", meanwhile, must now be known by its official title, which is Red Faction: Guerilla. More »
