Playing A Game Red Faction: Armageddon PC

So there's no PC demo. Doesn't build confidence in the readiness of the PC version -- whatever. Not a huge surprise, and not my biggest worry about how GTA on Mars is being sequelized.

Actually, the demo was somewhat reassuring about the general quality of gameplay: Armageddon controls well, has some cool weapons, neat new gimmicks (the Repair ability is far from a one-off, even within the brief demo level), and is sufficiently destructive to differentiate it from other third-person shooters. I even climbed into a powered armor suit and punched the shit out of some alien monsters.

My big concern though, is that, given this game takes place underground, I may not be able to drive through buildings. Even if Armageddon is a more finely-tuned shooter than its predecessor, ...well, especially if it's more finely-tuned, my favorite parts of Guerrilla - the Michael Bay levels of unbelievable chaos and destruction - simply won't be possible. I'll wait and see how this one turns out.

Progress: Gave Up -- Played the (Xbox 360) demo
