Yeah looking forward to that, apart from the whole co-op fiasco! Actually thinking about it i’d imagine this game is gonna be the new Tomb Raider mixed with Alien Breed

“Speaking at GDC Europe today,THQ Digital creative director Don Whiteford has revealed Red Faction: Battlegrounds to be a downloadable title for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, which unlike the last (and upcoming) Red Faction games – which are all about hammers and ostriches – is about vehicular combat.”
