Steam has XCOM complete for $2, a no brainer. But which one should I start with?

Diect2Drive has Red Faction for $5, is this worth it? Is Red Faction more of a shooter or a RPG? I bought STALKER thinking it was a shooter..... don't like RPG's so much

Red Faction is kind of sort of a GTA on Mars kind of thing going on for it. It's pretty decent, definitely worth 5$. Though I'm not sure how the PC port runs, the 360 version is good.

I guess it is actually Red Faction Guerrilla, a later release...... seems to be worth $5

i played red faction when it first came out years ago and remember liking it a whole lot.

Red Faction Guerrilla is all about blowing stuff up. You get remote charges, a rocket launcher, a bigger rocket launcher, a jetpack, vehicles with guns, etc, and your main goal is to blow up the enemy buildings. Physics plays a big part of it, you have to destroy the load-bearing structures of the building or target its other weaknesses like the big ass fuel tank conveniently hidden on one side.

It's fun, but there are a couple of technical issues. I had to set my speaker configuration to 2 channel to get the sound to work properly. And I have to run in windowed mode or the fps will skip randomly. Overall, I rate it 8/10.

I already informed the wonderful forums about the steam deal!
