There's a new Red Faction update over at Voodoo Extreme. Lead programmer Jeff Farris talks about the last few things left to polish and test on the PC version of this GeoMod powered game.

The Red Faction site has been updated as usual on Friday. The only new thing this week is a new screenshot showing some multiplayer action. Thanks Blues News.

Gamespot has a status update on Volition's Red Faction. They say the game is in the final stages of development and on track for its September 18 release.

XGR has posted 30 screenshots from Volition's upcoming shooter Red Faction. The game should be shipping next month finally.

Saw on Blues that a new Red Faction interview has been posted on Red Faction Gold. Questions about mods, cut scenes, editor, SDK release and more.

Not tired of Red Faction screenshots? There are 24 new ones on Action Vault. They are taken from the beta copy of the Volition FPS.

A new official Max Payne editing tutorial has been added to the game's website. This time on the Particle FX tool, which is (very surprising) the particle editing tool.

The Red Faction site has been updated with the Friday update, which has been on Mondays and Tuesdays the past couple of weeks. There's a new screenshot of the week and a look at the Team Deathmatch multiplayer mode (screenshots). Also there's more bug fixes on the bug fix of the day page.

If you're not yet tired of seeing all those Red Faction screenshots, there are four more on Voodoo Extreme. These come from a beta copy of the full version.

If you're hungry for more Red Faction, the official site is offering a new trailer with a minute of gameplay footage. There's a high and low res version, both in AVI format.

According to the 3D Realms website, Max Payne has displaced the Lord of Destruction expansion pack for Diablo 2 and is now the best selling game in the US. The game is also still the #1 seller in the UK for the fourth week in a row.

The Red Faction site has been updated with news that version 1.10 of the multiplayer test of the game has been released. It fixes several bugs and adds a new CTF level. The patch is available through the ingame update system. Saw that on Blues News.

3D Spotlight has posted a tweak guide for Remedy's Max Payne. Max requires a nice system to run with all graphic options enabled, 3D Spotlight explains what all the Advanced options are for and how to set them.

If you are still waiting for the Max Payne demo to be released, according to a post on the 3D Realms forums (down for maintenance again at the time of writing) you will have to wait a little while longer. Here's what one of the Remedy guys had to say

Getting the demo out has taken a lot longer than we expected. This is mostly due to the fact that we all took a break and vent on a brief vacation to recharge batteries. Now we're back and working hard, but I'd estimate that it's still going to take two weeks or so, as there's loads of other high priority stuff that we need work on as well.

If you only recently started playing Max Payne and got stuck or want to see some easter eggs, you might wanna check out the Max Payne guide that Gamespot has posted. It has weapon and bullet-time strategies, a walkthrough for all 3 parts, cheat codes and an overview of easter eggs.
