So waaaay back at the beginning of the preorder process for Red Faction, Best Buy had a preorder bonus for those that preordered their copy through them AND had a "Gamer's Club" membership. Well I just so happen to have done both of those things and just received my walker in the mail today. The action figure is made out of plastic, with a large amount of moving pistons and joints. The paint job is top-notch and it looks as if it has been through a lot on Mars. Pretty sweet thing for free, eh? Check out the full article for pictures.

Game Add-Ons

Fallout 3: Point Lookout
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
Size: 450 MB
Buy a ticket and hop onboard the Duchess Gambit, as Tobar the Ferryman takes you to the strange seaside town of Point Lookout. What secrets does the dilapidated boardwalk hold? Who lives in the sprawling mansion? Why is the Punga Fruit so important? And what horrors lie in the depths of the murky swamp? Point Lookout is the most open-ended DLC yet, and allows you to explore an entirely new and expansive gameplay area any way you'd like.

So venture to Point Lookout, if you dare. Just pray it's not a one-way trip. There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts..."

Gaming Union writes "Red Faction: Guerilla is all about the destruction, so the European division of THQ decided they'd let people cause some destruction of their own.

Gamasutra writes: "In late May, analyst Doug Creutz with Cowen expressed concern that lagging preorders for the high-budget THQ release Red Faction: Guerrilla indicate that sales of the game will likewise fall short.

But as Guerrilla launches today, Volition, the THQ-owned studio developer behind the game, is shrugging off naysayers. "We're not worried about [reportedly low preorders] at all," Volition community manager J Goldberg told Gamasutra from the E3 show floor.
