Red Faction: Armageddon | Demo out May 3 **UPDATE**

A “free playable demo” [like I’m willing to pay for one] of Red Faction: Armageddon will be available on the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE on May 3.

**UPDATE**

The demo is still due to arrive as scheduled, but THQ has announced that the game itself has been delayed [didn’t see that coming did you?] by a week.  It will now arrive June 7 instead of May 31.

The demo will give you a taste of what it will be like to assume the role of Darius Mason and fight your way through Martian sewers and an oncoming alien infestation and clear your name after the colonists blame you for unleashing the alien threat that has ravaged the underground cities of Mars.

Players will have at their disposal the Nano Forge as they combat alien invaders with concussive blasts and core-shattering tremblers. Rebuild all that you destroy with the Nano Forge’s incredible Reconstruction ability. Finally, throw entire buildings at your enemies with Red Faction’s signature weapon, the Magnet Gun.
