Last Saturday, we teamed up with THQ to host our latest community day, where 25 members of the PlayStation and THQ communities were invited to PlayStation HQ in London to spend some quality time with Red Faction: Guerrilla, nearly 2 weeks before the game is released.
The main order of the day was to give our guests a chance to play the full multiplayer mode in some fast’n’furious LAN battles, or pass the pad in the immensely fun Wrecking Crew mode (lots of destructible buildings, explosive barrels, unlimited ammo and a time limit – I’m sure you get the picture!
) You can read their first impressions of RFG and write-ups of the event at CuriousOnion, NoodleGamer, The Lost Gamer and our very own PlayStation.com Forums (let me know if I’ve missed any, in the comments section!).
Our pictures from the event are here, with plenty more to be found on THQ’s Flickr page.
Congratulations to Miles, who was the well-deserved winner of the LAN tournament and soon-to-be proud owner of a very shiny brand new Sony Bravia 32” widescreen full-HD LCD TV as his prize.
Thanks to everyone who gave up their Saturday in the name of gaming – we hope you all had fun. We’ll be running more of these events in the future and will let you know here as soon as we have the next community day lined up.
In the meantime, you can grab the Red Faction: Guerrilla demo from the PlayStation Store, and the game itself will be out next week. Let the destruction begin!

I haven’t played the demo yet but a couple of my friends played the demo, one on the PS3 one on the 360, they said only the 360 had multiplayer, now I know why.

I was there, had a great day. Thanks again THQ and Sony for holding the event and for your fantastic hospitality. I managed third in the competition and picked up some cool schwag!
Awesome day thanks again.

Cheers for that Charlotte,some of the biggest games have had match-making issues so I wasn’t surprised,but I was gutted because floating around blowing stuff up was fun.
I tell you what I was thinking when I did play it,if the multiplayer portion was put on the store (I know it would never happen) I’d of payed £15 for that.

To be honest i didn’t have high hopes before i played it, but after? i was completely wrong, so much fun smashing buildings and sticking explosives to people and watching them run in fear!

Event was a breeze to run thanks to Charlotte and the guys at Sony, so we’re definitely looking at doing more… Maybe Darksiders? We’re on Twitter if you want an early heads up – THQInsider
