THQ has put together a little history lesson on the Red Faction series in the latest developer diary for
Red Faction Armageddon. It's a nice look back at the series although they really don't dig too much into the plots of the games, rather the types of enemies you kill in the game.
I initially had some reservations about the change from an open world to a closed environment but I'm starting to get excited about the game as it looks like the "blow stuff up and watch it fall on other stuff" mechanic is still in place.
