A collection of three installments of the popular series of action games developed by Volition Studios exclusively for PlayStation 3. The pack contains all major entries that were previously released on the 7th generation consoles – Red Faction: Guerilla and Red Faction: Armageddon. Both games tell completely separate stories and focus on different characters. What’s characteristic for them is that the action takes place on the surface of planet Mars that was colonized by humanity, and that the titles allow the player to destroy the environment by using weapons and other tools. Red Faction Collection also contains a multiplayer mini-game Red Faction: Battlegrounds in which the players take control of special vehicles and complete on arenas on Mars in several gameplay modes. The collection contains all previously released DLC expansions for each of the games.

A science-fiction based TPP shooter, which is the fourth installment in a popular series by Volition. The plot of Red Faction: Armageddon takes place fifty years after the events shown in the previous game. The humanity on Mars has been forced to descend to hide underground. The protagonist, Darius Mason, accidentally causes an alien race to wake up from their slumber. As it turns out, the aliens are aggressive and bloodthirsty, taking over subsequent human colonies. Our hero has to deal with the alien invasion, and at the same time, absolve himself from the accusations that he is responsible for the whole situation. When it comes to mechanics, the game departs from its predecessor, introducing a more linear structure, with more emphasis on the plot and movie-like approach to narration. Regardless, the most characteristic element of the series, the ability to lay waste to the environment using various weapons and other tools, has stayed unchanged.

A science-fiction TPP action game, which is a third installment in a series created by Volition studio in 2001. The plot of Red Faction: Guerrilla takes place on Mars, 50 years after the events of the first part.

In view of the significant dominance of the enemy, the main hope of the partisans lies in guerrilla warfare and sabotage. In comparison with previous installments of the series, the gameplay mechanics have changed immensely: the first-person perspective was changed to third person, and the game world now has an open structure. An interesting novelty is gathering scrap metal, which is a currency used to pay for new weapons. The game retains the destructive environment mechanics, known from the previous games, which are a one of the distinctive features of the multiplayer mode.
