Armored Core Series



Armored Core is a great series. Beginning in 1997 with "Armored Core", this franchise would extend well into the new millenium as an excellent game series touting gameplay and customization. This game packs action, fighting and customization into the mix; the third term unheard of in a shooter game.


In the game, you are a Raven, a mercenary for hire. No mercy; no good and no evil, you are in it for the money. Customize your AC (your robot) to meet the need of the mission or create the ultimate death machine.


I picked up the game a few weeks ago, and the other day I picked up Armored Core: Project Phantasma (the sequel to Armored Core). Both are great games, as a kid I had trouble with Phantasma, but I just breezed through 15 of the arena opponents using a simple rocket launcher on my back and advanced evasive maneuvers. Seriously check out Youtube if you have never heard of Armored Core. They have made 8+ Armored Core games (off the top of my head) and they currently have Armored Core 4 for the Xbox360 and Playstation 3.
