It's your firendly neighbourhood SuitedMonkey again, here with the first SuitedMonkey LOVES... Blog post, this time looking at the video game Red Faction: Guerilla.
For those who haven't played the game, RFG is an open-world game set on Mars. You play as Alec Mason, a member of the rebel clan the 'Red Faction'. The main enemies of the game are the EDF (earth defense force), who are oppresing mars into slavery. I won't spoil any of the plot in case you want to play it yourself.
But the plot isn't why I love this game. Let's put this into context. Have you ever wanted to just destroy whole buildings in a video game? To just reduce them to piles of rubble? Well, in RFG, you can. Alec Mason is in possession of a hammer, with wich you can destroy any object on the surface of Mars. Obviously, you cannot destroy the ground, but anything else you can see can be destroyed.
As I say, there's a plot to this game, and it's probably good, but the fact that the hammer just destroys anything just makes me want to run around and mess around with buildings.
Time to end this. If you haven't played this game yet, you really should.
Thanks for reading,
SuitedMonkey
