The bird is the word.

At the behest of irreverent gamers everywhere, Volition has revealed that they are planning on including the Ostrich Hammer as an actual unlockable weapon for the upcoming Red Faction: Guerrilla!

Kotaku reports on the announcement:

In what some are calling the winning video game ‘prank’ of April Fool’s Day 2009, Volition released a hilarious video on Wednesday revealing the Ostrich Hammer, a brilliant response to NeoGAF comments regarding an early batch of Red Faction: Guerrilla screenshots. Brimming with excellent comic timing and one of the best beards ever, the video caused many of our commentors to declare the game a day one buy, as long as the Ostrich Hammer was included. Volition is going to be holding you to that.
