Blowing shit up, it never gets old but until recently destructibility in games was always limited by technology. Even the original series of Red Faction games allowed you to cut away at the very earth around you, until you reached an invisible bounding wall that was. Red Faction: Guerrilla flips that idea and instead allows the player to destroy everything but the planet. This sees your avatar Alec Mason smashing buildings, bridges and vehicles to free the planet of Mars. Gadgets range from your trusty hammer to jet-packs and a nano gun that literally disintegrates anything it touches.

Guerrilla takes numerous cues from the Grand Theft Auto series with an open ended mission structure and expansive game world which requires everything from jeeps and tanks to robot suits to be traversed effectively. It is the combination of these elements that makes this game so damn fun. From tearing through a building with a robot suit to smacking an adversary sideways with your hammer, the game is rarely dull and offers up a wide range of challenges at anytime to keep the carnage coming. Almost too much fun.
