If you skipped this game back in 2001 and would like a chance to see what a real mech game should be like, you will be able to download the full game plus its expansions for free soon from this site.
They’re releasing it completely free and legal in honor of BattleTech being around for 25 years. I bet they’re just hoping to drive up interest in the new game that was announced earlier this week. I completely missed playing this version of MechWarrior because I had moved onto consoles, though I did have some serious fun with MechWarrior 3 when I was in high school.
If simulations aren’t really your ‘thing’ then give MechAssault a chance on the 360, I’m sure you can find a used copy at your local GameStore for about $0.99, and is a damned fine substitute for the PC games…though not free.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
