a great and smooth robot arena combat from the ps2 days. also came with a great soundtrack option from real bands. and now i am filling out more words because I was to concise.
The game that introduced me to the mech genre. Ever since playing this game I’ve been left with an insatiable thirst for more mech games. Very fluid and fast paced gameplay for its time.
This was one of my top 5 Ps2 games i've ever owned. It's gotten me through rough periods of my life when i was younger and this game sparked so much inspiration from me. I was sad to hear that Konami unplugged the multi-player servers i was really bummed, but hearing a possible chance to connect with other people with this game sounds like a dream i thought would have never been true if you asked me when i was 12 years old.

In a world where reboots are drowning us all, the best games are simply forgotten. As with many ps2 games, they really did a lot of special things with this one. The mechanics are different, the story is unique and deep, the world created is immersive and fun! So many have tried to make a mech game that works/sells, and this was their example all along. Oh, to see a modern version in UE5!

I'm just happy to know about this game. I saw a poster of it on the wall of a lan house / game store and some time after I wanted to play it, the poster was not there anymore, but the store owner still remembered the poster and the game. Hidden gem.
That's probably my first mecha game ever (or my first mecha in PS2), I wish get this on PC. I loved spending hours and hours playing it alone against the AI ​​(thinking they were people, I was a kid haha), I would love to relive those moments.
SLAI is a masterpiece which deserves to be preserved, and needs to be brought back for a sequel. Konami once again does not fully utilize their intellectual property

Great gameplay, cool interface. It allowed cool customization of mechs that were not available before, being able to have a smaller/faster mech and larger/tankier ones was cool. The battles were super fun in pacing, just a completely underrated gem.
I had fond memories of this game although I havent finished it. Wish it comes to PC so we can all enjoy it to the fullest! SLAI was my childhood dream come true aside from GTA SA. BRING THIS TO PC!
This is my childhood game for life. Even got to know my favorite band as well from this game, which is Zebrahead. Maybe for some this doesn't tantamount to famous titles back in the day, but for me this game has a special place in my heart, and will always be.
Those games also need your vote!

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.

Heavy Gear II
Heavy Gear IIAs the leader of the special ops group Dark Talons, lead your squad mates on a series of dangerous missions as you discover the NEC plot against your homeland, Terra Nova. Operate behind enemy lines as you gather data, attack enemy camps, capture enemy leaders, take over space stations, and more. Combat happens on land, underground (huge caverns), and even in space. There are plenty of weapons to outfit your gear, even some hand-to-hand weapons. You can also add perks and flaws to further customize your gear. Stealth is a major concern in some missions. The game play feel is very different from the Mechwarrior series. Set in Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear universe (it actually rivals the Battletech universe in complexity, though not nearly as famous), this game requires 3D accelerator with its "Dark" 3D engine. The gears are capable of very human-like movements, such as kneeling, crawling, and jumping.

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.

Dune: Imperium
Dune: ImperiumIn Dune: Imperium, you'll step into the role of one of the leaders of the Great Houses of the Imperium in a struggle to control the planet Arrakis and the invaluable Spice it provides. The game plays out in a series of ten rounds, each of which is defined by a new Conflict on the surface of the planet; some award critical resources, and some provide Victory Points that will propel you to dominance. But choose your battles wisely: spread your forces too thin, and you'll find your enemies growing too strong to oppose. Each round, you'll draw a hand of five cards from your deck, which will get stronger over the course of the game as you acquire new cards. Each card can be played in one of two ways: To send an Agent out into the Imperium to gather resources, or to Reveal at the end of the round to purchase new powerful cards. You must maintain a careful balance to get the most of the resources available to you. How will you find your path? As your game progresses, you'll vie for Influence with four factions of the Imperium: The Emperor, the economically powerful Spacing Guild, the mysterious Bene Gesserit, and the ferocious Fremen of the deep deserts. Earning Influence among the various groups helps you to earn the Victory Points you need...but will you compete with your rivals for their favor, or abandon alliances to pursue other opportunities? Many strategies are at your disposal, and many paths to victory. The cards are dealt. The choice is yours. The Imperium awaits.
