Believe it or not – this is a premium, commercial retail game from Microsoft that you can now have for FREE … if you can stand downloading the monster!
Mechwarrior 4 : Mercenaries is MS’s fourth installment in their take on the long-running BattleTech franchise that actually began as a pen-paper-and-dice game before the advent of home computers, and has been spun-off in everything from novels to movies to cartoons – and of course quite a few video games. (Transformers seems to borrow a bit from it as well.)
This futuristic sci-fi game puts you in the cockpit of a BattleMech – which is a large robot-like vehicle usually bristling with weapons and armor – and you go stomping around doing what BattleMechs were designed to do : Fight other BattleMechs and blow stuff up!
Vote for your favorite Park!
Visit Arkansas State Parks!
The Coca-Cola Company and its subsidiary, Odwalla have been supporting America’s State and National Parks with grants for some time – and now they’re offering $100,000 to the Park that receives the most votes as “America’s Favorite”.
Of course some of Arkansas’ State and National Parks will always get my vote – and they’re all included on the list : Petit Jean, Nebo, Magazine, Queen Wilhelmina, Pinnacle, and even Hot Springs and the Buffalo National River (both are “National Parks”).
Oddly enough, you can vote for as many parks as you want as often as you want … so knock yourself out! But voting ends on 8/31 … so wax up your mouse for smoother clicking. Find out more and join the fun here :
