• The best mech games on PC - 29 December 2017

  Whether you like hardcore simulation and strategy or the explosive thrill of mecha anime, games about big stompy robots have always had a home on PC. And with MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and the turn-based BattleTech coming in 2018, it's never been a better time to be a fan of games about 100-ton death machines. While mech games span all kinds of genres, they are bound together by the simple truth that piloting suits of mechanized armor into combat is a fantasy that never gets old. It's an aesthetic that dates back decades to the very first MechWarrior in 1989 and now lives on in newer games like Titanfall 2 and Brigador. That's why we've rounded up a diverse selection of our favorite mech games spanning multiple genres—from the traditional hardcore sim to button-mashing character action. Whatever your preference, there's a mech game for you. Titanfall 2&#…

• Double Fine's Iron Brigade drops Games for Windows Live in favor of Steamworks - 27 May 2015

  It's been almost three years since Double Fine Productions released the alternate-history tower defense/shooter hybrid Iron Brigade on Steam. That's a long time to wait to release the game's first update, and yet here it is : Some bug fixes, some tweaks, and, most important of all, the end of Games for Windows Live. There's actually a pretty good reason for the new update, in spite of the years-ago release date. Double Fine announced yesterday that it has acquired the rights to the property from original publisher Microsoft, and thus it will now be a self-published game. "The great thing about this change is that now there are no obstacles to us creating the best possible experience for players," Iron Brigade creator Brad Muir said. "We have fixed all known issues as well as provided a great matchmaking experience for multiplayer. Vlad and his Monovision Menace are on the move again! In…

• Iron Brigade Updated - 15 August 2012

  The following issues have been fixed: - The HUD was being cut off in certain resolutions (particularly 4x3 aspect ratios). - Player stats were displayed as 0 when changing resolutions. The stats were always stored correctly, just displayed wrong. - In multiplayer, the game continues when one player alt-tabs or loses focus. Previously, if one player paused the game by alt-tabbing, it would pause everyone’s game. - The game now starts up in the same resolution as your desktop, rather than trying to switch to 1280x720. If you’ve already played the game, though, it will still use your current settings.
