(CBS/CNET/AP) - If you're familiar with the Red Faction video game series, then you know Mars as a dangerous place where the regimes are oppressive and the building codes are lax.

In Red Faction: Armageddon, alien infestation replaces armed uprising as the series takes on a new tone.

This third-person shooter may tell an unremarkable tale and lack the freedom of its open-world predecessor, Red Faction: Guerrilla, but Armageddon serves up a fresh new batch of creative mayhem with extensive destructibility and a devastating array of weapons and powers.

Blasting your way through hordes of aliens and wreaking merry havoc on the overrun human infrastructure is an entertaining endeavor, but it's the ingenious and versatile magnet gun that takes the thrills of destruction to new heights.

Whether you're soldiering solo in the single-player campaign or staving off an enemy onslaught with friends online, Red Faction: Armageddon provides a lot of great ways to indulge your destructive desires.
