On Wednesday, I came home to find a package in the lounge. The package looked like a package I'd received before. My heart filled with joy-I knew what the package was.
It was a brown package.
So I brought it upstairs into my room, and marvelled at it's lovely, brown colour, and it's soft, smooth texture. After hours of endless fun, I was going to put it safely away in the drawer when I suddenly realised there was something INSIDE the package!
My eyes widened, and I put my left hand into the package. I also found out that the inside of the package felt even nicer than the outside!!
A few minutes later, I pulled something out of the package.
It was of a rectangular shape, and was mostly red. It also had a picture of a fist holding a sort of axe/hammer (can't remember what it's called.)
Puzzled, I looked at the back. In even bigger white letters it said, "JOIN THE REVOLUTION."
Suddenly, I knew. I knew what it was. I mean, c'mon, it's obvious! If you put the hammer/axe thing and the "JOIN THE REVOLUTION" bit together, then you get...
A PETITION TO SIGN FOR THE BANNING OF HAMMER/AXE THINGS, IN WHICH A REVOLUTION OF NEW HAMMER/AXE THINGS WILL BE MADE!!!
But wait...on the top it said, "PlayStation 2." I have a PlayStation 2. I opened it up, and there was some sort of CD inside.
I popped it into my PS2, and waited with baited breath for what was to come.
A few seconds later, a screen came up, with "RED FACTION" in the middle of it, and options to the side such as, "NEW GAME," "MULTIPLAYER," "OPTIONS," etc.
My apparently primitive mind overcame the concept of an 'interactive petition,' and finally realised that it was a video game, called Red Faction, which I had won on Gameaday on Special Reserve.
I clicked on new player, and a whole new realm of gaming begun.
Well, actually, the whole new realm begun later in a huge deathmatch against bots, as I got stuck on the first level of single player mode.
But nothing can match up to the experience of getting to the top of a 'fort,' finding a Fusion Rocket Launcher with a Kill Range of 10 metres, looking down onto all the little bots running around on the ground, and killing ALL of them with this massive weapon!!
Yesterday myself, Darkness_2K, my brother and my cousins spent the whole afternoon playing multiplayer Red Faction. It was one of the best gaming experiences ever, and that's all thanks to the great guys at THQ and Volition.
Right, I'm off to destroy The Lobby with a Rocket Launcher also known as the 'Big Earl.'
Thanks for reading, Ant.

"smoother sharper graphics" I doubt it. You know nothing about the PlayStation 2. Please p**s off back to the planet you came from.

What, it's true! Everyone knows the PC version of Red Faction will be better than the PS2 version. It will have online play, smoother sharper graphics, various upgrades and more. Nobody can tell me a game on PS2 can out-do a PC game despite being a very good PS2 game.
where?
Pagey, see that door over there...
And despite everything we all know the PC version of Red Faction will be miles better than the PS2 version.

Yeah, but if you're expecting good stuff, then it's even worse!!
Unless it's 4-4-2 Soccer, you can't get any worse than that...

Yes, I know. I was joking as well.
*Ant puts boffin voice* A 'joke' can mean many different things in many different ways. For instance, it can blah blah blah*
