Download Red Faction: Armageddon demo one million times, get a deadly Unicorn

mrtoots

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.

armageddon

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.
