Although this may seem like an April Fool's Day video, the Ostrich Hammer will be a real unlockable item available in Red Faction: Guerrilla's multiplayer. Not even the destruction tech and weapons trailers can prepare you for this one. How will players take to being beaten down by a giant bird? More importantly, is PETA going to protest the game now?

On April Fool's Day Volition and THQ released what many thought was yet another gag video. Based on comments from the NeoGAF message boards, Volition team members were shown creating an optional "Ostrich Hammer" (that is an ostrich bird being used as a hammer weapon) in their upcoming action game Red Faction Guerrilla. Most people thought it was just another elaborate April Fool's joke.

It wasn't.

The game's official web site has posted up word that the Ostrich Hammer is a real weapon in the multiplayer portion of the game and will be an unlockable option for players when Red Faction Guerrilla ships in early June. Not only that but Volition apparently has other multiplayer game modes and surprises they haven't revealed yet, including even more unlockable hammers. Hmmm . . . let the speculation begin.
