One of the last of a now dormant sub genre of games, Starsiege is a mech-style game (although the "mechs" in Starsiege are known as "HERCS"). Built on a solid sci-fi story line, the evolution of some of Dynamix and Sierra's best writing. It was the story and extra bits to the game, like the Compendium book, something that has probably never been done so well before or since, that got a small but hardcore community so hooked. In terms of the story's timeline, Starsiege is chronologically the predecessor to Tribes, a game that transformed how game designers think today both in terms of engine development and multiplayer design. The Tribes engine was the same as Starsiege, but despite this, Starsiege never got quite the recognition it probably deserved. However, as mentioned before, despite being released almost a decade ago, the community is still as dedicated as it ever was, even to the point of forming their own company, Clancore, who with the official endorsement of Sierra / VU Games, have begun developing the next title in the series: Starsiege 2845. www.starsiege2845.com Check it out...Read full review
One of my favorite games of all time, had AMAZING multiplayer back in 199X with 32 players, huge maps, custom content with new weapons, vehicles, maps, game types, aircraft, the works! Hope EYE and all the others are well out there!

It's older but has great gameplay and storyline. Would recommend to anyone who likes mech games or shooters in general.
