A great expansion of the action MW3 gave. Giving new mechs and weapon systems. I played it myself many times after MW3, I never finished it as there was one mission where you had to defend an area but failure was caused by if an enemy even stepped foot there, not destroying it. Unfortunately the tricks to get the original MW3 running don't seem to work at all for Pirates Moon, would love to see this game on a modern operating system for another playthrough.BlackDeathAU

As a kid, we didn't have much in the ways of entertainment. But, we did have a decent (for the time) PC. My dad used to play the Mech Assault games before I was born, and the Mech Warriors franchise became a huge family staple when it came to gaming. Didn't have much for games, so we mostly got these. I even bought a copy of this for him on Father's Day just to find out we didn't meet system specs. I felt bad being just a dumb kid that didn't know any better about that sort of thing. But after some persuasion from my dad, he convinced my step-mom to let him make the minimum necessary upgrades. As well as sneak in a flight stick. Then one day I came home, saw him playing and having so much fun. Then he noticed me, waved me over, and we took turns playing it together. I will never forget this franchise for as long as I live. Not only from the personal, familial, bonding I got from it, but just from how much fun this game gave us. Like, slapping six PPC cannons on a Puma and nothing else, getting Warhammer Ork mentality and getting into the thick of it as fast as possible, then watching myself blow the entire battlefield sky-high just from trying to group fire all cannons simultaneously.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
