Red Faction: Armageddon
Red Faction: Armageddon is the sequel to the amazing sandbox destruction wonderland, Red Faction: Guerrilla. But instead of once again unleashing you into a wide-open area, the game keeps you on an extremely linear and somewhat small path. It doesn’t matter so much at first, but as time drags on, the game’s environments begin to feel more and more claustrophobic, especially when you’re constantly seeing the screen being overrun by enemies. Thankfully, due to your high-powered arsenal, you’ll rarely find yourself knee-deep in enemies for long. Something new and awesome to the series is the ability to rebuild entire structures that you destroy by using the nano-forge. This new level of destructive freedom really feels fresh and liberating, since you can outright destroy any structure and rebuild it if you actually need or want to. The only real downside to the game is that a good majority of the dialogue is pretty lame, making Mason seem like a complete dork. If you don’t mind a dorky main character and want to have fun breaking stuff, then definitely give this a try.
