Bargain Bucket Gaming: Red Faction Armageddon


The game that divided fans of the Red Faction series, personally I think it's a cracking game and really enjoyed it a lot more than the previous game. Some of the arguments are that it took a step back with not being a sand box style game, yet I feel that it had a great story and really enjoyed the experience. (So much so I played through the story 3 times in a row from normal to the insane difficulty level)
