Superhero and cartoon characters are integral parts of the electronic entertainment industry. With this in mind, I salute the meld of pop-culture character and video game with a look at Army of Two: The 40th Day (from Electronic Arts, reviewed for PlayStation 3, rated M for mature, $59.99).

• After a Seven-Year Absence, 'Red Faction' Is Back [Derived Headline]

After a seven-year absence, "Red Faction" is back. A new generation of technology is allowing developer Volition to deliver on the promises it made early in the decade. "Red Faction: Guerrilla," powered by the new GeoMod engine, is taking the concept of destructible environments to a new level, leaving behind the first-person-shooter roots of "Red Faction" in favor of an enormous open-world, third-person-shooter experience. Everything can be hacked to bits, smashed to smithereens or blown to kingdom come - and we mean everything. We're letting you tear apart every man-made structure in the game: walls, buildings, bridges, everything," said producer James Hague. "In lots of games touting destructible environments, destruction is just a special effect. In 'Red Faction: Guerrilla,' you're...
