This was the free game I got when I bought the original XBOX. I still have better memories of this game than I have any of the more "modern" mech-type games. It didn't bog you down with stats, menus, or other "fluff" just grab your mech and start blowing stuff up.
This game and its sequel are what made me fall in love with mechs and rock music. They're not the best remembered of the franchise but being the Goliath in the David vs Goliath fight is a big draw to me for the Mech genre and they service this with aplomb.
Mechassault 1 and 2 are great single player and multiplayer experiences. From the sound effects to the voice lines to the pure chaos of mech explosions! To this day the Mechassault Reborn Discord plays these two games every weekend! To see it persevere on GoG despite it's larger community all but forgetting it would cement it's status where it belongs and bring in even more players.
I played this game a a kid way back in the early 2000's and it was my first introduction to video games as a medium. I currently am part of Mechassault Reborn, a group that still gets together and plays this game on weekly game nights with mods. Releasing this game for native PC would allow us to finally no longer have to worry about limited copies of Mechassault that are available, and allow modding the game to be so much easier than it is. If this gets ported to PC it will allow our small commnuity to finnaly thrive and get new players set up again.
I love this game and its sequel. Sadly it is nearly impossible to play them nowadays. I would love to have the chance to experience those games of my childhood. The music, the gameplay and the mechs are awesome.
This game was hands down my favourite classic Xbox game (Halo:CE is a close second), this game took the little embers of a mech fan in me from Iron Soldier 3 and turned them into a flame. The raw power fantasy, even the camera angle and scope made the world feel so small and stompable, and all the weapons were so powerful, with everything except other mechs falling in a salvo or two.
I remember wading through rivers chasing down convoys of ships, swatting helicopters out the sky with missiles and machine guns, mowing down entire squads of tanks with autocannons and lasers, and all the squishy infantry that pop into little red clouds when you stomp through entire platoons of them.
This game is such a precious memory of mine, and I would love to see it reach PC through GOG.
This game for me was such an adventure and almost like an Awakening towards loving the mech shooter genre. There's something about going into a campaign and living the story of the Mech warrior through the lense of one of the last in your faction. Trying to scavenge and do what you can for your fellow comrades. Whether it be coming across other Mechs on the level or doing a scouting mission it moves the story in a way that me as a teenage kid on the Xbox was something I'll always remember. It would be a treasure to have this on the PC, just a direct port nothing changed.
This is probably my contender for #1 most replayable Xbox game right next to Halo 1 and 2, I would definitely love to see this game again but on a more accessible platform compared to having to buy an original xbox and make sure the capacitors are working and everything else
Man to see this game be brought back would be a blast! Was born in 1998 so Big Ass TV with the back and VCR's were a thing. Never had internet until I was 16 so having this game along with my xbox original was fun and kept me entertained along with other games. Honestly hope that this game and Mechassault 2 gets released again for GOG or Steam.

WetWet is an action game that combines shooting and swordplay with acrobatics and gore. The main character, Rubi, carries twin pistols and a sword (she can also carry dual shotguns, submachine guns, or crossbows), and can fire while jumping, sliding on her knees, and running on walls. During these acrobatic actions, the game enters slow motion, and she will automatically aim at a second enemy, allowing the player to shoot at two enemies at once. She can also combine her attacks, such as wall running off a person or performing a sword uppercut while sliding.Action
Hidden & Dangerous 2Hidden and Dangerous 2, like its predecessor, focuses on the British Special Air Service during the Second World War. It follows the same concept as the original tactical first/third person shooter. The game's LS3D engine was used by the game Mafia.
Gameplay elements such as the vocal commands, plan or real-time map control, vehicle usage, equipment selection and the first person mechanic were significantly enhanced from the original. The ability to take POWs, added enhanced stealth options for the player which include the acquisition of enemy uniforms. Mission types include, espionage, sabotage, search and destroy, town liberation, prisoner rescue, retrieval of enemy officers and documents, partisan assistance and assassination. The variety of locales include Norway, Libya, a Norwegian fjord, Burma, Austria, France and Czechoslovakia.
The expansion pack Sabre Squadron adds missions in France, Libya and Sicily. Some of the missions are modeled on real SAS exploits. However most of the game takes liberty with the historical time and place of SAS operations.[6] The missions are based on sandbox style game-play where players are free to roam a map and pursue objectives usually at their leisure and choice of sequence. A real time strategy mechanic also allows players to control events for staged sequential tactical maneuvers or through real time overhead command.Action Historical Warfare Stealth
