The Red Faction video game series is taken from Total Recall


Red Faction is very similar especially taking place on Mars with a rebellion against a Mars corporation, the Mars soldiers and colony design are very similar especially with the colony built into the rock and all the line tunnels.

Thanks for reminding me about that awesome game. On PC I can remember blowing tunnels throughout with the rocket launcher. That game was way ahead of it's time and still kind of is with it's "GeoMod" technology. It even had some really good vehicle segments that were fun.

Those were great games, and I have had a lot of fun playing them (well, one and two, anyway). I wish the GeoMod stuff was used a bit better, though. I remember being frustrated a lot in the campaign when running into obstacles. "Go get a keycard!" said the game, and I figured I'd "access" the door another way... Never worked. You couldn't blow the door off, couldn't blast a whole in the wall, couldn't tunnel around it with the rocket launcher. You'd just hit metal instead of rock. There also were never enough rockets and other explosives to get a really great tunnel or pit trap going. Is this not the perfect game to put in a drill as a melee weapon? It would make so much sense to just give the player a drill as their starting weapon and let 'em burrow around.
