MechAssault is an abortion that should never have been made. I charge you, Hobie, with putting it to the torch in order to do your part in cleansing the world of its evil. Then join me in praising Mech 2 Mercs' name.

Haha, that bad? It's one of the games I was most likely to get around to trying out. Granted I'd probably wish I was playing on a PC with mouse and KB, but still. :lol:

So imagine a beloved game franchise. Now imagine a new developer takes it over and throws out basically everything that made it compelling in the first place, leaving only a bare skeleton that ties it back to the original work. Kinda like how the new X-COM game is going to be a horrible FPS instead of an awesome squad-based turn-based strategy game. That's what MechAssault is.

So like Fallout 3? Except I still liked Fallout 3. :lol:

Glad you got the stuff. Not the best/worst prize package ever - I hope you enjoy a few of the games at least.

Fallout 3 is not nearly as bad of a departure.
