Red Faction Finally Taking A Giant Hammer To The PC

I loved the Red Faction demo, but have been holding off on picking the game up on console because, well, I'd rather play it on PC. Which has been tough, what with the PC version delayed and all.

But that long wait will soon be over, as THQ have finally gotten around to announcing a release date for the PC version of their Martian open-worlder. And that day is September 15 for Americans, and September 11 for "international" customers, which we'll imagine means Europe and Australasia.

The game will be available both in stores and digitally, though THQ are "still finalizing the digital distribution partners for each region".
