Looks like Hawken but I've never played it so I can't tell you if it's good.

Yeah that's Hawken but as Enron said I've only ever watched people playing it, never played it myself. Does look pretty fun though :)

Hawken is free to play, and it runs well on older machines; so you should give it a try if you think it looks interesting. I have a Core 2 Duo and a 460GTX and I can play it no problem. it's also pretty fun.

Looks like Hawken big time. Think of it more as a FPS than a mech game. I enjoyed the game when I was playing it.

I tried Hawken and was majorly disappointed. I expected a mech game, instead I got a high speed twitch FPS game with no feel of piloting a giant heavy mech.

If you want to pilot big giant mechs, get the free to play Mechwarrior online:mercs.

But if you want a high speed twitch game, sure give Hawken a try, but you might as well play UT III it's better at it to :)

Have games really gotten slow enough to the point where you can use UT3(a game slowed down heavily from its predecessor) in the same sentence as 'high speed'?

Am I the only one who thought Dan was just trying to showoff the fact that he bought the G710? :p
