Well, I was reading the MechAssault 2 MP impressions thread, and someone mentions this GunGriffon game, of which I have never heard of. Check EB Games, and I find out it comes out next week, two weeks before MA2. I read up on it on IGN, and it is sounding pretty damn sweet. Both this game and MA2 are Live, and since I suspect most of us here aren't diehard mech simulator fans, which one of these games do you think is most worthy to be purchased??
I think I found another game to add to the Xmas List!

In GunGriffon, you take on the role of a renegade soldier, enlisted in an anti-tank troop, who's prime mission is to take down armored tanks, the ultimate ground weapon used to destroy the earth and any living thing that gets in its way. You use their entrusted machine called a "High Mac" (High-Mobility Armored Combat System) to fight the battery of armed soldiers and sinister machines that await you on the battlefield.
Xbox Live Compatibility: A thrilling online multi-player mode where players will be able to form teams with other players online, taking down the strongest of enemies with quick and smooth communications using the voice chat function within the game.
A Variety of Modes: The new GunGriffon features single-player, multi-player, and online modes, all designed to offer the maximum in game play excitement.
The Ultimate Weapon: The "High Mac" is a next generation high mobility weapon used throughout the game as the player's ultimate weapon and ally. Players will use their high mac to move through the treacherous battlefields, with its arsenal of weapons that change depending on battlefield conditions.

Pull the trigger… Lethal destruction from a whole new perspective is at your finger tips. A lucky shot mangled your MadCat. It's payback time. Suit up in BattleArmor and seek an enemy 'Mech to "jack." What's yours is yours and what's theirs is yours too… if you're good enough. Crush the Word of Blake in campaign mode or take the fight online with Xbox Live. When you’re ready… join a Clan and rule the universe… it's called Conquest.
Limited Edition Bonus Features:
Never Before Seen Footage: Exclusive G4TechTV production and interviews with the creators of MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf

Features:
Get out of that 'Mech: In MechAssault 2, you're the man, not the machine. So, for the first time ever, you'll now have the ability to get in and out of your ‘Mech to experience warfare up-close and personal. Attach to ally and enemy ‘Mechs, scale walls, or hitch a ride on a VTOL aircraft.
Protect yourself: With BattleArmor, you can hijack enemy ‘Mechs and use them to help your teammates rain down destruction on opponents.
Get a new sense of scale: MechAssault 2 uses the graphic superiority of the Xbox to introduce a new perspective that allows you to fully appreciate the size and power of your massive ‘Mechs. With action and graphics this realistic, you'll feel like you've been fully immersed into a world where 40-foot ‘Mechs reign supreme.
Enjoy a compelling, brand-new single-player experience: Delve into the deeply enhanced single-player campaign, filled with seamless storytelling that opens up the universe to a more compelling single-player experience.
Experience evolutionary Xbox Live gameplay: Battle for the Inner Sphere against opponents from around the globe via Xbox Live. Whether you live in the United States, Sweden, or anywhere inbetween, you can strategize with teammates about the most effective way to search-and-destroy, while talking trash in real-time to opponents from Germany to Japan.
Bring on the destruction: MechAssault 2 pushes the graphical capabilities of Xbox. Experience more incredible explosions and devastating destruction. Witness intense, jaw-dropping weapon and damage effects. See lasers light up the sky, Raptors disappear, and Javelin LRM launchers fly though the air, wreaking havoc on the evil Hand of Blake.
