     I’ve been unemployed for nearly 19 weeks now due to the economic fallout caused by the reaction to the *UNSPECIFIED VIRUS FROM UNKNOWN ORIGINS*. Let me tell ya, being unemployed sucks, however, one of the fringe benefits it comes with, if you’re a gamer like me, is that you’ve got all the time you want to play games! One of the games I’ve put an appalling amount of time into over the last few months is Battletech, a turn-based strategy game where you customize a lance of gigantic battle mechs, not to mention your own small team of pilots (light-RPG style). I love strategy games which provide a good challenge, and this one bent me over the kitchen table and had its way with my newbie ass until I finally learned how to control each battlefield with patience, attention to detail and careful tactical execution. Mechwarrior is a series that has been around since the 80′s and I remember playing at least one of them as a kid, and although I had fun with it I honestly can't remember which one it was. Regardless, this is a franchise with an unbelievably deep lore, solid overall gameplay, and this title had a soundtrack created by Jon Everist. This composer uses synth and live orchestra to produce music that could easily belong in an intense TV show or film, and it definitely added to the depth of an already immersive experience. If you’re into games with heavy customization options and light role-playing elements, I would most certainly recommend you smash play and then purchase a copy complete with all the expansions. Right below are a few screenshots I took in-game. Enjoy!
