MechWarrior 4 Released for Free

A few months shy of the tenth anniversary of its release, MechWarrior 4: Vengeance has been released for free at MekTek. The game featured hot graphics for 2000, a cool story mode and some really fun multiplayer. Customizing your big robots was also always an engrossing part of the MechWarrior games too. How is this news to us? If a new MechWarrior or Wing Commander were made today, they would most likely fall into some kind of "action" genre, and while that's always been perhaps the best way to describe these games, they were actually co-members of a pretty substantial "simulation" genre back in the '90s. Though it might seem a little odd today, this relationship prompted a great many reviewers to compare this game to Wing Commander when it was launched.

Studio MekTek, in association with Smith and Tinker, INC., Virtual World Entertainment, LLC, Catalyst Game Labs, and Microsoft Games, is happy to announce the release of Mechwarrior4 Free.
