8: Hawken
Another indie game, and another game that isn’t out yet, and another game that is inspired by Japanese aesthetics, Hawken is a multiplayer game that pits player as mech pilots against one another. The combat is surprisingly fast paced for a game revolving around lumbering hulks of metal, and it also features jump jets. Never ever underestimate the tantalizing power of jetpacks on a mech. It’s another one to watch, especially if the combat and MMO like qualities of MechWarrior Online are too much for you.
