It may be slightly annoying to read about a game that is still eight or more months away from completion, but we feel that annoyance will be well compensated by the amazing eye candy at the end of the link below. Red Faction is a thrilling new shooter in development by Volition, creators of the Descent and Freespace series of games. They have updated the screen shot gallery for RF with nineteen images, of which nine of them appear to be new.

Red Faction's new graphics engine isn't just amazingly gorgeous and detailed; it also allows you to actually destroy and deform terrain, objects and walls. You will be able to destroy entire buildings, drive vehicles and pilot ships, and commandeer machine gun turrets -- but you will also have to be adept at stealth and deception, on those levels where the large-caliber weapons are scarce.

For more information on this game, and to check out those gorgeous new screen shots, visit the Red Faction web site. Volition is also bringing their RPG Summoner to the Mac OS later this Winter.
