The $1.35 million mech (and how to insure it)
Mechs aren't just for video games, anime and tabletop gaming anymore. Suidobashi Heavy Industries now has a mobile suit named Kuratas available for – and, let's be honest, you'd pay anything to have this – the reasonable asking price of $1.35 million. That doesn't include extras like ...
Hawken to be playable via Gaikai prior to official release

The article reveals that AC5 is a PS3/360 game, built, according to Siliconera, on the concept of "mayhem-like mecha action." The "mayhem" is the result of the new ...
Mech room for Armored Core 5 in 2010 [update]
