This was the free game I got when I bought the original XBOX. I still have better memories of this game than I have any of the more "modern" mech-type games. It didn't bog you down with stats, menus, or other "fluff" just grab your mech and start blowing stuff up.
This game and its sequel are what made me fall in love with mechs and rock music. They're not the best remembered of the franchise but being the Goliath in the David vs Goliath fight is a big draw to me for the Mech genre and they service this with aplomb.
Mechassault 1 and 2 are great single player and multiplayer experiences. From the sound effects to the voice lines to the pure chaos of mech explosions! To this day the Mechassault Reborn Discord plays these two games every weekend! To see it persevere on GoG despite it's larger community all but forgetting it would cement it's status where it belongs and bring in even more players.
I played this game a a kid way back in the early 2000's and it was my first introduction to video games as a medium. I currently am part of Mechassault Reborn, a group that still gets together and plays this game on weekly game nights with mods. Releasing this game for native PC would allow us to finally no longer have to worry about limited copies of Mechassault that are available, and allow modding the game to be so much easier than it is. If this gets ported to PC it will allow our small commnuity to finnaly thrive and get new players set up again.
I love this game and its sequel. Sadly it is nearly impossible to play them nowadays. I would love to have the chance to experience those games of my childhood. The music, the gameplay and the mechs are awesome.
This game was hands down my favourite classic Xbox game (Halo:CE is a close second), this game took the little embers of a mech fan in me from Iron Soldier 3 and turned them into a flame. The raw power fantasy, even the camera angle and scope made the world feel so small and stompable, and all the weapons were so powerful, with everything except other mechs falling in a salvo or two.
I remember wading through rivers chasing down convoys of ships, swatting helicopters out the sky with missiles and machine guns, mowing down entire squads of tanks with autocannons and lasers, and all the squishy infantry that pop into little red clouds when you stomp through entire platoons of them.
This game is such a precious memory of mine, and I would love to see it reach PC through GOG.
This game for me was such an adventure and almost like an Awakening towards loving the mech shooter genre. There's something about going into a campaign and living the story of the Mech warrior through the lense of one of the last in your faction. Trying to scavenge and do what you can for your fellow comrades. Whether it be coming across other Mechs on the level or doing a scouting mission it moves the story in a way that me as a teenage kid on the Xbox was something I'll always remember. It would be a treasure to have this on the PC, just a direct port nothing changed.
This is probably my contender for #1 most replayable Xbox game right next to Halo 1 and 2, I would definitely love to see this game again but on a more accessible platform compared to having to buy an original xbox and make sure the capacitors are working and everything else
Man to see this game be brought back would be a blast! Was born in 1998 so Big Ass TV with the back and VCR's were a thing. Never had internet until I was 16 so having this game along with my xbox original was fun and kept me entertained along with other games. Honestly hope that this game and Mechassault 2 gets released again for GOG or Steam.

Mercenaries: Playground of DestructionDuring the last years of his reign, the North Korean president Choi Kim attempted a reconciliation with the country's southern neighbor, with the ultimate goal of reunification. However, his son, General Choi Song, and the military clique under his leadership, strongly disagreed with the old man's views. Eventually, Choi Song orchestrated his own father's assassination, took control of North Korea, and severed ties with the outside world.
Eventually, plans of a nuclear reactor construction began to surface. China, South Korea, the Allied Nations and even the Russian Mafia sent troops to North Korea, competing for power in the troubled region. A bounty of a hundred million dollars for General Song was declared. This is where the mercenaries enter the playfield.
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is a free-roaming war action and driving game with open-ended gameplay in a large world. The player can choose to control any of the three mercenary protagonists, each with their own strengths: North American Chris Jacobs can sustain higher damage; Jennifer Mui from Hong-Kong is proficient in stealth; Mattias Nilsson from Sweden can run faster than the others. Each of the mercenary also speaks different languages, which makes him or her more or less suitable for work with particular factions.
Players have free reign of a massive landscape to take bounties on the "Deck of 52", a list of most wanted criminals in North Korea, as well as a number of factions. Four factions have moved in to take advantage of the coup for personal gains; each faction will offer the player resources such as vehicles and supplies, as well as missions that the player can use to make money off of. If the player makes a faction happy, they will offer intel on the locations of various bounties from the deck.
Players have a vast array of resources available to them to get the job done. It is possible to commandeer tanks, choppers and and any other military hardware to blow up the game's destructible landscape across the North Korean countryside. Helping out various factions provides access to numerous vehicle drops, supply drops, and air strikes.Open world Action Stealth Sandbox
