"Steel Batallion"

I have it.

Who wants to touch me?

I said who want's to ing touch me?

It's like the ultimate geek toy.

Why you'd spend that much money on one game and a gigantic controller I can only imagine.

Ask Goatboy which store he saw his at and get them to transfer it to your local branch of the same company - that way, you can still get it :D

(I want to kick someone's ass at it on Live - so do it now! :D)

Bah, I was gonna pre-order this but I just missed out. Damn you Edgy, I hate you!

;-)

£129.99 (inc postage)

to reap the benefits of it, you'd need a massive telly and a decent sound system though, surely.

oh, and a dark room, you don't want people to see what you're doing after all.

How much did it set you back then?

Included in Steel Battalion:

1 Mega huge fudge off bloomin massive controller that comes in four main parts:

The left joystick controlling direction and view as well as the fuel supply and various other switches.

The right joystick controlling aim and weapon controls. Also containing the ignition and the all important Eject button.

The main section contains communication buttons and ammunition as well as various other functions I haven't worked out yet.

Steel Battalion - the game (Which I've found out this very second isn't as hard as I thought it was - I managed to kick some backside rather easy on the first mission :D)

Steel Battalion Live game.

Massive manual - more pages than a standard Prima strategy guife.

Construction sheet (x2) for putting the controller together.

I don't regret spending what I did for it for two reasons:

1. It's excellent.
2. If I get bored of it and decide I want rid, I'll sell it to someone for a large profit :D

During one of my routine sessions of being Edgy's bitc.... being over Edgy's house playing games, I played Steel Batallion. And I'm jealous. It's hard; REALLY hard, but it's one of those snazzy peripherals you won't get tired of.

And using it makes you feel like a man.

If im correct, you get a huge control panel with tank style joysticks for it. Personally I think it looks daft, and certainly not worth a ton.

I wish it did, then my dream wouldn't be so sad.

It's a mech game that comes with a huge custom controller.

A bit hardcore, but I still want.
