The Topps Company made some interesting domain name purchases this week that hint toward a MechWarrior movie. On May 7, 2012, Topps registered movie-related names for several properties like BattleTechmovie.com, MechWarriormovie.com, Shadowrunmovie.com, and more. In total, the company picked up nearly a dozen domains through the brand protection firm Corporation Service Company. The last time there was talk of a MechWarrior movie was back in 2009, when a trusted source told Joystiq that a MechWarrior film was "in development".
BattleTech and MechWarrior 5 are excellent games, licensed by Microsoft. But why hasn't Microsoft itself done much with the franchise?

Owning Mechwarrior is like owning Power Rangers. Theoretically the IPs hold some value, but you ask for ideas for a game not immediately doomed to mediocrity and everyone leaves the room.
You all know what it is, this is Weekly Weakling and I’m here to show you four more awesome games for your terrible rig to get you by for another week. One of these games even requires a tiny bit more power. Let’s do this!

It’s really amazing witnessing the jump from 2D sprites to the 3D accelerated graphics that were powered by 3DFX cards, back in the days. SqueegyMackoy has also included Living Legends, the amazing MechWarrior mod for Crysis Wars. Enjoy!"
