Red Faction: Armageddon pre-order bonuses revealed
by Steve Watts, Mar 29, 2011 1:30pm PDTTHQ and Volition unveiled the inevitable Red Faction Armageddon retailer-specific pre-order bonuses today.
GameStop and Amazon pre-orders will get a free copy of Red Faction: Battlegrounds for Xbox Live Arcade or PSN download -- an offer already extended to PlayStation Plus users.
In addition, GameStop pre-orders will get the Commando Pack, which includes a uniform, Plasma Thrower (to "spray an unforgiving stream of destruction"), and dual Laser Pistols. Speaking of virtual goods, Best Buy orders get a Recon pack: a recon uniform for snipers and spies, the Arc Welder, and the XNG-5000 -- the latter of which seeks out enemies and dissolves them. I think I've had nightmares like that.
Walmart is the only retailer giving out a physical item: a comic book prequel to the events of Armageddon. The book also includes a "mini-strategy guide" for the game.
The game is due on May 31. Check out our recent hands-on preview for more details.

As for Red Faction I actually enjoyed the last one that was released and am looking forward to this one but I will wait for a cheap ass sale on amazon or steam. I will not get suckered into another crappy pre-order from a manipulative company, excluding Valve/Blizzard and a few independent developers like Frictional Games.
