(Nth Review #24) Mars, hammers and rebellions, oh my! Red Faction is an interesting series that feels like it’s both immediately explainable and after five games, it feels like it’s never existed. Nick picks through all five games, plus the Syfy movie Origins, to see what the big deal was and… where the hell did this thing go?
