Whilst gaming sheep graze on Brink thegameveda is playing Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries free on the Toshiba Libretto

All good Mech fans are aware  that Microsoft allowed Mektek to release and distribute Mechwarrrior 4 Mercenaries free .... That's the whole game people , Metek also have their own free to play Battletech off shoot.  But any way above  we see this PC classic , once an entire genre unto itself. being played at a blistering speed on the Toshiba Libretto  ,  now if you have friends who Mech , and have say 4 or 8 Libretto's lying around you could link up and play in the tiniest of places , on the bus home , in the lecture theatre , or whilst being bored at the theatre ..


The Toshiba Libretto has been thegameveda's gaming weapon of choice this week , and a welcome antidote to all the non starting AAA nonsense that we were supposed to be playing according the gaming bigwigs , you know the likes of Brink  , for which there is no PC demo or listing on Steam , I cannot buy the PS3 version as there still is no PSN and I may never use it again in any case , and in a couple of weeks time the Xbox 360 version will be in the summer bargain bins for 50 % or less of its current new value... you know like that other great Bethesda experiment Wet ( which I loved by the way , just the not way it dropped almost 70 % in value after release). And another thing Brink is apparently going to receive free DLC to make up for the Lag Fix that it needs as the lag on its multiplayer component renders it useless , see PSN hackers , the devcos are perfectly capable of taking their own networks down .. even without your efforts. 


Does thegameveda miss Brink , no way  , with fantastic totally legal free games like MechWarrior Mercs on the free internet on the coolest ( well actually it get's quite hot)  ultra portable  the Toshiba Libretto , am I missing PSN or the latest AAA must have ... does it look like I am ?


For mech fans I plan to test many more classic MechWarrior and Battletech inspired games , and some of them in daylight ...... I have about 30 years of this stuff to go through...  for collectors check out some rare Mech games with thegameveda


Video gaming is more than art it is now a culture ... and remember in your limited gaming time , there  is what "they" want you to play and what you could be playing ... the art is in choosing .. so if you are one of  hundred or so thousand  Brink Sheep sitting frustrated waiting for a patch to allow you to play online as expected , or one of the hundred or so millions  waiting for PSN to wake up again .. time to realise you the gamer have the power , free yourself from the herd and get on to the net discover some of the 30 years of  gaming culture out there , and the best of it is not controlled by any of the big boys... or girls.. who as recent events have shown will let you down time and time again.... usually on a weekly basis...
