MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries Review

Mechwarrior: Mercenaries is a blast - literally. It’s non-stop action from the word go as you pilot your mech around the landscape, destroying all before you (hopefully) and watching out for your ‘lancemates’.

Well first off, despite the cries of the truly devoted, Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin (or CMBB to those “in the know”) will not cleanse the world of all sin, drive our enemies out of The Temple and usher in 1000 yrs of peace.

Better late than never--that well-worn phrase has been granted new life by Conquest: Frontier Wars, a real-time strategy game set in space that spent much of this year without a home.

The bottom line is that the game isn't a bit challenging, and it doesn't make any sense to play an empire game in an environment where you won't have any real competition.
