That’s right. A cute, My Little Pony-esque unicorn can be yours if the Red Faction: Armageddon demo is downloaded one million times. Mr. Toots, as he is known, apparently shoots rainbow lasers out his bum which as you can see below, hurts the enemy rather badly. It looks like it does Mr. Toots as well, because he cries out as he does it. Poor Mr. Toots. Red Faction: Armageddon is out June 7 in the US and June 10 in the UK for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The demo hit 360 today.

THQ’s released a video of the Red Faction series as a whole, detailing its entire history. If you’re a newbie to RF and its Mars escapades, now’s the time to catch up. Then watch the trailer for TV spin-off Origins afterwards. Catch the clip over at Joystiq. The newest game in the series, Armageddon, launches on June 7 in the US and June 10 in the UK for PS3, 360 and PC.

THQ has announced it has delayed the release of Red Faction: Armageddon to June 7 in the US and June 10 in Europe. The game was originally set for release on May 31 in the US and June 3 in Europe, so the delay is only about a week. A demo on Xbox 360 is still planned for Tuesday, May 3 and PSN – if the service is back up by then. No reason was provided for the delay, but we’ll ask for one anyway. Thanks, Kotaku.

When you hear “THQ,” what springs to mind? Wrestling games? Ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-Nickelodeon? Well then, you might want to crawl out from under that rock you’ve spent the last few years living underneath.

Where’s Tim Schafer these days? THQ. How about Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki? Same. And what’s this about Guillermo del Toro? The bottom line: THQ’s come a long, long way – but it’s far from done.

Leading the way has been THQ Core boss Danny Bilson, who was kind enough to take some time out from his busy schedule of  interacting with some of the most interesting people in the industry to chat with little ol’ us. So we basically projectile vomited questions in his face, which he was surprisingly ok with.

Click past the break to hear Bilson’s thoughts on core Move/Kinect games, the need for creativity in the gaming industry, how we should handle touchy subjects like the recent Medal of Honor controversy, 3D, Tim Schafer, and plenty more!
