Mechwarrior; (PC and Super Nintendo!)I never played the original and started with MW2. Moved onto MW3 and MW4. Grabbed MW5 at launch and have opinions. MW2 had a great soundtrack and was a blast to play. MW3 felt more modern with its campaign gameplay and mech models. MW4 seemed like the penultimate edition of this era of MW games. I certainly enjoyed all of them. but MW4 hung on for a very long time. Mostly due to there not being a new MW game for like 15-20 years. MW5 had the graphics update, fun gameplay, moddability, but man was the campaign weak sauce. It was just smothered in weakness. Your merc crew was so vanilla, your lancemates don't even have call signs, I could go on. Fun gameplay but felt like 2/3 an actual completed game. Mechwarrior Online;I was in Dungeons and Dragons Online for a bit. I had a guild buddy that also loved MW. So, we jumped into MWO at launch. It was fun, I loved the graphics and gameplay (although I was a total noob). Got bored of the grind and endless death match and eventually stopped playing, but really enjoyed my time collecting mechs and playing in the lab.Mechcommander 1&2;A new take of RTS in the mech-verse. The original was HARD! I loved the voice acting, storylines, and mech salvage and lab. Part 2 was a huge upgrade on part 1 and had an excellent campaign storyline. I would jump on another edition to this series! So much tactical fun. Battletech HBS;Fabulous, fabulous game. I loved every min of it. I bust it out at least once a year. Great mech lab, challenging gameplay. Serviceable campaign, could certainly have been better, but the game was clearly made to be a merc sim sandbox and not a campaign type game. Folks will complain that the rules are only like 80% accurate; but who cares? This game is killer fun and excellent for any mech head. I will be there with bells on if HBS puts out a sequel.</blockquote>
