Gaming Target explores the history of the Red Faction franchise ahead of the June release of the third entry in the series, and first on the PS3 and Xbox 360, Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Red Faction: Guerrilla takes place in the distant year 2125, but the saga actually began 50 years earlier in the still distant year 2075. That's when a disgruntled miner, a Peter Gibbons of the late 21st century, sparks a work's rebellion that takes down Mars' evil mining corporation. You see, the hero of the game, Parker (no first name given), bought into the promises of a new world and serious profit on the red planet. After all, with Earth's resources depleted, that's where all of the jobs were located.
