If you want to play as the Mech try Exteel by NC Soft

http://www.exteel.com/us/

It is a Multiplayer online game with the base game being free and gives you the ability to earn/make micro payments for major upgrades to our mech

I was part of the Closed and Open Beta for the project as I play other NCSoft games like City of Heros

It's not my cupajoe, but it's fast, furious and FPS Mechs with Guns, Rockets, and swords in true anime/manga style. Check it out. It's a free download so you won't loose anything. Oh it's PC only, sorry if that's a deal breaker

thank you, i was about to just give up and play gunbound from ijji
