And in second place: Armored Core: Project Phantasma (and by extension, its prequel, Armored Core.)
In Armored Core (first) you strap on the role of a Raven, piloting a tall (or, if you choose certain leg parts, not so tall) AC, which stands for, guess... Armored Core.
An AC is a highly mobile (if you have a shred of sense) attack robot that you pilot..
The fighting is similar to most other Japenese 'Mecha style games, although it is very good.
The great part, however, is that they manage to pack enough resource management and RPG plot elements (IE: Your mission choices and success or failures guide you,) that it dosent get boring..
But once you have R0xX0r3D the entirety of Armored Core's missions, the new fun begins (or sooner, if you impatient,) when you import your Armored Core AC and gear to Armored Core: Project Phantasma, which has an entirely new plot and set of missions, plus 50 AI bots to go one on one with..
OH yeah, you get super-133t new parts in AC:PP ;P | |

Oh, and bringing up the pack would be Homeworld, by Sierra.
A deep and gripping plotline, whereupon you discover your now dead planets history was a lie, you and 60,000 (or less, depending on wether or not you fuck up on Mission 3: Return to Karak) other members of your now extinct planet set out to exact brutal revenge on the near-genocidal killers, oh yeah, and regain your people's lost position as head of the galaxy :).
Not a bad month's work for a buncha people who only wanted to fly out there and dig up what's what. :)
The action is a 3D RTS, set in space, kinda like Wing Commander, except you order your units, not fly them yourself.
You can command anything from tiny scouts (smallest of fightercraft,)
To the gigan Heavy Cruisers, or the even more Mammoth (although relativly gentle) Mothership.
Truly cool, in my opinion. |
