Steel Battalion was a bit of an entity at the Spring Showcase event simply because Microsoft placed a lot more emphasis on this game above all others.
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.
We need another great mech game and so far this is shaping up to be an epic experience even if it envolves Kinect. I miss Chromehounds so much I'm willing to try anything that has me behind the controls of a mechanical monster. Gameplay videos look great.
That not only could be a standard-only controller game, but apparently will need a standard controller.
Also have to wonder what happens if this game doesn't deliver? What that's says about Kinect.
I like the sound of it. Hopefully a demo gets pushed out over LIVE pre-release so we can sample and see if it really is as good as it looks, and that I hope it is.
For the sake of 360 core fans, this game needs to be good. People have waited 2 1/2 years since Microsoft first said "Kinect will be for the core gamer" for there to be a single decent core experience on Kinect.
