GameSpot UK has posted nine screen shots from Volition and THQ's upcoming first-person shooter Red Faction. While not all of them are new, they showcase the most unique feature of this upcoming shooter from the makers of the Descent series -- its Geo-Mod engine which allows you to destroy walls, ceilings, and just about everything else. Don't like the look of that guardhouse? Just blow it to smithereens. Is your enemy in the room above you? Just blow a hole in the ceiling and watch them come tumbling down. Obviously, the implications are tremendous, although we're sure this engine is giving level designers nightmares -- why spend an hour texturing a wall when players are just going to shoot huge holes in it?

In any case, be sure and check out these screen shots, and for some even better ones of much higher quality, visit the Red Faction web site itself. This shooter is due for Mac and PC simultaneously at the end of this year.
