Following classic award-winning games like Grim Fandango, and The Dig comes Lucasarts' latest adventure RTX Red Rock for the PlayStation 2. The first human colony on Mars, Red Rock, has been surrounded by dangerous aliens and military from Earth cannot get there in time, so they call upon E.Z. Wheeler, a Radical Tactics Expert (RTX), to save the day. RTX Red Rock features 10 levels of gameplay, tons of weapons, two-player split-screen support, and a digital side-kick, IRIS, to help with your adventure.
LucasArts used to make great games filled to the brim with flavor. Full Throttle. Day of the Tentacle. Sam and Max Hit the Road. Then, it applied that brilliance to Star Wars games like X-Wing, Dark Forces, and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. A lot of the attitude was lost, but it was okay, because the games made up for it with outstanding gameplay in the Star Wars universe. RTX Red Rock is a step in two different directions for LucasArts. On one hand, it seems to finally be recapturing the attitude and feel of its old games. On the other, it's like it took a time machine back to the days of NES, took a lesson from the games of the time, and said, "You know what's missing in today's games? Ridiculously hard levels that are ambiguous as to the way to finish them, and where the hero either chokes to death, falls, or is ravaged by aliens he can't see every few minutes. Ayup." Read More »

Whether or not this'll happen is currently unknown, but after checking out the first few levels, I can say that there's definitely potential for a satisfying and somewhat original sci-fi adventure.
