Armored Core = sucky controls. I've tried to like it, but just can't do it. That's why I haven't purchased Frame Gride just yet. I'm hung up on the controls.

AC's controls are clunky, but with practice I have no problems.

Maybe I just need more patience and practice.

But outside the world of AC, Gun Metal is freaking awesome! I can't praise the game enough! There isn't much in the way of customization, but there's action aplenty, the gameplay and graphics are top notch, you can transform for crying out loud (!!!!!), and it's only 40 clams! Go buy it! You won't regret it! (To those interested: Full review soon!)

Turn based Gundam strategy battles on square grids, sometimes multiple levels. 100s of units and machinery and upgrades and cutscenes and voices and etc. I ended up playing this vicariously since my two Gundam-freak friends needed me to help translate some of the J while playing the games.

There are two games that came out after this in this series: F and iF. I think iF has a handful of new things over F, so if you can find one of the titles in this series I really recommend F or iF, both seem to be much better than 0.

Cool! Thanks for the info! I think I'll be playing Super Robot Wars Alpha for a long time to come...but as soon as I'm finished, I'll be looking for these.

Oh! There's another one! Super Robot Wars Alpha!

Dude, I know what it offers but I personally feel this series SHITS on those Super Robot games. I've seen both, and I guess this might be from seeing the SD Gundam series first, but man... it just looked so stale.

If you find a cheap copy, nab it and grab it immediately. Chances are you'll like it and not look back.

Will do! Thanks again!

To date the only game you've recomended to me was Beatmania IIDX 6th style...so you have a flawless record!

I might as well seek this one out. Don't let me down!

Mech games?

All versions of VOOT, everything but the Saturn version of VOOM, and probably all versions of Force.

Also, the Assault Suit Leynos games, and, uh... Federation vs. Zeon, I guess. That's all I can think of, right now.

mechwarrior 2 for pc.

i don't really like any of the other games in the series, but this one clicked for me. the entire presentation of the game is incredibly stylish, from the excellent music, to the cockpit voice and hud.
