Truly, genuinely struggling so much these days. My finances are hemorrhaging and my mental state is near rock bottom. I don't know what to do. Every realistic option is so drastic.

Goodnight to our friend Screaming Mad George. An entire generation of horror fans were birthed from your blend of surrealism and carnality. Your contributions to the genre flowed from the grotesque to the dynamically impossible. We hope you know you were loved by genre fans around the world.

Red Faction: Guerilla isn't just a game with an impressive destruction mechanic or a rifle that makes you say, "Wow, cool gun!" It's Volition at its most explicitly pro-worker and anti-capitalist, reacting to a financial crisis with a still-resonant tale of a violent and necessary worker uprising.

Retro spotlight: Red Faction: Guerrilla

Volition at their least subtle — which is saying something — and most pro-worker, in a game that resonates even more today than it did upon release.
