Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow

Steel Battalion

What a, well I was going to say game, but it's more like a full simulation. Absolutely incredible, amazing fun, especially when running at 90 MPH, turning too fast, careening over and sliding along the ground completely destroying two tanks that lie on the floor (pretty much all I could do at first). Just, wow.

Only bad points so far are that the draw distance is pretty short at times, though due to the way the combat works you hardly notice it, the display size on the first generation of mechs is quite small, but with a decent sized T.V it's not so bad, by the third generation the display size is huge so it's just a case of playing on really. Visually and aurally it's incredible, so hard to describe walking up a beach, shells fired from a battery exploding all around and machine gun fire peppering the sand around you. Wow.

:yes:

Big deal, I play games, I don't care what format they're on, if this had been Gamecube or PS2 I'd have bought it either way.

No kidding, with equipment like this, it's gotta be something serious...



Well, maybe a PC version will come out..? ;)

Thats a slightly different controller to the one it shipped with. The buttons have this really nice L.E.D fade effect once they've been pressed.

I guess a PC version could come out, with it being under Microsoft and all, but it would depend on whether Capcom would make another batch of controllers.

Kinda the reason I bought it was because they're going to make a sequel that can be played online and they plan to make other games that use the controller, so it's not just a one game thing.

But it's more of an experience than a game and everybody should have a go at least a few times just to experience it.

As for Nintendo and the SNES, Super Mario World is quite possibly the most sublime platform game ever, it's a god damn classic.

Best video game of all time. That was just super. :nod:

And I'm completely against console games. The reason? Cuz all I have is my computer. :D
