One Rapture-loving Radar editor hates the sequel already. Here's why.
Red Faction: Guerrilla, a free-roaming romp across the fully destructible surface of Mars, is shaping up as one of the surprise hits of 2009, not to mention a minor technical triumph.
The 1980s are generally remembered as a cynical era of corporate greed, nuclear paranoia and really, really bad fashion. For nerdy kids who grew up during that decade, however, the ‘80s have come to represent a kind of golden age for videogames.
Another week, another heaping pile of terrible videogame trailers. Somehow, our inboxes never stop filling up with this crap. Actually, we’ve padded out this week’s Trailer Trash with a generous helping of our own custom stuff – jump ahead to page 3 for some of that action. Without further ado, the trash.
After 50 podcasts and 33 questions, it's safe to assume we all play a crapton of games. But what else do you do? What's next on the list for hobbies, interests or passions? What do you do when you finally bore of jumping on platforms and shooting locks?

AW CRAP! We’re all going to DIE! Or at least, some of us might, because people die.
