Watching those teaser videos were exciting, but reality quickly caught up and I knew I couldn’t relive those great moments of the past. MechWarrior 2 and its two expansions are among my most cherished games of all time; they were awesome. But those days are long gone and I doubt anyone can bring it back. Hell, we don’t even know if this will be a simulation game or a third person action game like MechAssault.
Congrats to Google for finally letting go of those beta tags. It’s about time.
P.S – Farewell Michael Jackson.
