Battletech takes a lot about what makes the wargame great and packs it into a video game. The strategy is excellent, especially early on when its a struggle just to keep your merc unit afloat. The main story is fine, but really the best part of the game is what opens up in the free play, as you travel the Inner Sphere building a merc unit from nothing. The amount of mod content is outstanding, and can transform the game in amazing ways, incorporating more from the vast lore of the wargame. Definitely one of my favorite top-down strategy games of all time.
