Red Faction
Description
In Red Faction, you play Parker, a weary miner who works for the corrupt Ultor Corporation. You reside on Mars, sometime in the future, and when a plague spreads through the mining community, some of the Ultor employees uncover a massive conspiracy. Thus ensues a battle by a group of lowly workers, headed up by the educated Parker, to expose the deadly experiments Ultor has unleashed onto its work force.
Red Faction was a very big leap forward in the FPS genre. It introduced many new technical features such as location-based damage system, real-time skeletal deformation, advanced physics simulation, destructible environment and more. The unprecedented (at the time) interaction with the environment creates a very strong feeling of immersion that is very impressive even by today's standards.

- Unique set of features such as location-based damage system, real-time skeletal deformation, advanced physics simulation, and destructible environment.
- An ability to use land, sea, and air vehicles during your missions.
- Compelling storyline (written by the creators of the famous FreeSpace series) that will keep you hooked for many hours.

The Revolution will be Red
A lot of heavily inferred plot but a solid engine, challenging difficulty and highly immersive approach really give this something to say. Not the best FPS going, but solid nonetheless.

The true meaning of underrated.
Unique game in many ways, should be known in the same category as Deus Ex or similar.

Classic FPS, works in Linux with wine!
The game installs and runs perfectly well in Linux with wine, for those that are interested. The Pure Faction patch also works just fine with wine, so in all this is a great buy for Linux gamers. As far as the game itself goes, I had it when it first came out but never got around to playing it. Going through it now, I am finding it still pretty fun in a dated way.
