Red Faction: Armageddon

THQ and OnLive have partnered up again to give users that pre-order Red Faction: Armageddon a free OnLive MicroConsole device.

The deal is open from now through June 6. In order to qualify, players must purchase a "Full PlayPass" for the upcoming Volition-developed adventure through OnLive. THQ and OnLive previously ran a promotion to giveaway the MicroConsole with pre-orders for Homefront.

With the pass and the free MicroConsole, players will be able to play Red Faction: Armageddon, streaming on their televisions. As an additional bonus, users that pre-purchase Armageddon will also gain access to Red Faction: Guerrilla, the title that brought the Red Faction franchise into the current generation of consoles.

      Is it because they're just not set to max or is it that the compression artifacts negate it?
