XboxAddict: The original Steel Battalion on the first Xbox remains to this day one of the most hardcore and unique gaming experiences I’ve ever had. For those that never played the original, it cost around $200 because it came with a monstrous custom controller designed specifically for that game and only that game. It had two joysticks, foot pedals, and about forty or so buttons, making for a truly unique mech experience if you had the cash and table space to set it up on. There really was nothing else quite like it, and when Capcom announced that it was going to make a return I was more than excited, as I got my wallet ready to plunk down another hundred or so to see what the sequel would be like on Xbox 360.
Eurogamer:
"Heavy Armor might be the perfect Kinect game, or at least, the most honest, because it reveals how interesting life can be when technology gets in your way. Green-lighted way back when Kinect was known as Project Natal, the game posits a near-future in which a silicon-guzzling microbe has devoured every computer on the planet, setting back the science of combat to roundabouts the close of the first world war. Deprived of GPS, drones and other decadent trappings of 21st century warfare, the Earth's nations are obliged to duke it out in gas-powered mechs or "vertical tanks" that handle as elegantly as elephants in high heels."
And the reason that it was one of From Soft's worst games is that it was tied to poor game accessory.
As much as I like From's Souls games, I'm hoping they release another Armored Core at some point.
...just had to throw that out there
It always seems like the video game industry can’t go a single week without handling death threats of some sort. At this point, they almost come with the territory for game developers, critics, or anyone else a select few people don’t like. However, the only way a person who receives death threats can combat them is by doing absolutely nothing.

We've compiled a list of these aberrations so that you don't ever have to play them yourself."
I really thought the picture of the horse was a real game. Not even sure why I'm disappointed it isn't ;/ Also, Survivor? What's the real aim of the game? Survive the opening credits?
duke nukem forever should of made the list, a game 10yrs in developement and ended up looking like a 2000 title.
At first I thought the score said 100/100.
Kinect is just to inaccurate for this type of game. You have to be ridiculously specific for what action you're taking and the game has a hard time recognizing that.
They should update that awesome controller and release the game for other platforms as well.
Almost lowered than superman64....
Ouch
Capcom gives X-box the hook ups.
The first one required a controller that only worked with it, Heavy Armor requires a controller that barely works for anything. I can understand the score.
