(_________________________________________________________________________________) Alright Guys!
I've been into this for a while now, and I'd like to introduce something to ya [since most of you probably won't know it yet].
Behold, the BattleTech Universe! And especially, MechWarrior!
To summarize:
Giant stomping 'Mechs, often referred to as Robots, shootin' at each other!
[Awesome Trailers down below!]
Though technically, they're not autonomous Robots, there's a Pilot sitting inside each BattleMech, piloting it [thus, they're Pilots =D] These Pilots are called MechWarriors. Think of the BattleMech as the ultimate Tank of the Future! You stomp around in these up-to-100-Ton-heavy Mechs, fighting alongside your Team for Resources and Victory!
One Lance consists of 4 Mechs, one Team consists of 3 Lances.
Short-ranged slow and heavily armored Brawlers clash against each other while light-footed, fast and small Scouts speed across the Map, spotting Targets and relaying Information back to their Team, trying to capture Checkpoints to gain Resources or even, if they feel up to the Task, scurry through the Enemies' heavy Mechs, trying to stay away from their punchy Front while slowly gnawing away on their weaker rear Armor!
LRM-Boats stay back, out of Sight for the Enemy, and fire their Long Range Missiles at Targets their Teammates spot for them - it's all about the Tactics! Information is Ammunition!
So, if you're in Love with everything Mecha, you surely should give it a Try - it's Free to Play! But, don't expect anything Gundam- or Evangelion-Style here... this is MechWarrior.
They're literally heavy Tanks on Legs, not some unrealistically super-human Robots! Then again, you're free to dim your Cockpit Lights in 4 Settings if you want to - all MechWarrior-Style.
Here some Trailers worth watching:

What does the 'Mech say?
My Conclusion: AWESOME!
While the Fans like me have the Right to be upset about Promises they didn't keep up to and some still-missing Features, I still really like to play it, for Hours straight.
If you're in for the occasional Grind for new Stuff and want to give it a Try, join us at MWOmercs.com and add me to your Friend List! Ingame, I go by "The Black Sun", note the Spaces there.

ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL
WELCOME TO THE INNER SPHERE
THE FUTURE IS WAR
Coming up next Gaming Journal: Star Citizen!
I'm still saving until STAR CITIZEN releases, and then I'll get my next, HUUUGE and expensive System!
More on that Topic for my next Journal, though. =P
Anyhows, this Game if FtP, so you might just give it a Try if you want - all you need is 5 GB of Space on your Drive, see for yourself - maybe it'll run on yours, as well...?
Mine's a 1.2 GHz Dualcore [IKR, that's my main Issue nowadays, back then it was fine]
NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M
4GB RAM
Well, I can run Fallout 3, Skyrim, CRYSIS and Dead Space on this without any Problems, also I'm playing lots of old DOS Games like Wing Commander Privateer, CYBERIA, Raptor - Call of the Shadows, the MYST Series, and a few 'newer ones' like C&C Tiberian Sun. It's capable of everything I did ask for, Star Citizen and a could-be-more-fluid MechWarrior Experience are the only two Issues I have nowadays...
Still, it runs fine! Steady 20-30 FPS most of the Time in MWO, rarely ever goes below 20. And that's not even lowest Settings!
