"A Package-for me?!?!?"

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.

And despite everything we all know the PC version of Red Faction will be miles better than the PS2 version.

Pagey, see that door over there...

where?

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.

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

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH!!!!!!!!! What a load of bo**ocks! Of course the PC version will have smoother, sharper graphics! There is no doubt about it. I know EVERYTHING about EVERY console being a hardcore console expert. I know about their architecture and how they work. A PC with a GeForce 2 or 3 will be able to run Red Faction at 60fps at around 1024X768 or higher which is almost double the resolution of the PS2 version and the PS2 version has slowdown too whereas a fully integrated gaming PC would do it with no slowdown whatsoever.

Oh, and I come from earth. You obviously come from the Planet Of PS2 Lickers.

And I suppose a 'hardcore' gamer like yourself would know all this, eh??

Console expert my @rse.

I've got a lot further with RF today, and only one word describes it: AWESOME.

The plot thickens, action gets better, there's more puzzles and the graphics on the environment (walls etc) are sooooo good in one part, it's unbelievable!!

The only way I can see the PC version as better is online play-if it has that option.

Also, on PC you probably won't have normal multiplayer, which is one of the best parts of RF!!
