1. the Screens on this site are NOT from this game ! - This is a (very nice) turnbased scifi-strategy game with an isometric 3D gameplay-perspective and an interesting, voiced story ! :/ 2. I still own the retail-boxed-version of this game, but it's no more playable on current hardware. :(

Hi, nice turn based strategy from Germany. It is in the old spirit of the blue byte classic battle Isle, The screenshots, shared under the pack shots, are not from the game.
I have very fond memories of this game and I've been meaning to replay it for roughly two decades now, but I've long lost my CD with it and even around 2010 when I had found it again it wouldn't run on my computer at the time. I loved this game as a kid despite the fact that I generally prefer RTS games, but I found the battle system accessible and fun enough, and the world caught my interest with its weird aliens, cool vehicle designs, the different planets and their ambiance, and the campaign was on the whole pretty fun from what I remember. I thought the ability to upgrade and then carry over some of your vehicles was cool and just in general enjoyed the idea of all-vehicles battles. No infantry, just cool tanks and weird space monsters. I also thought the Guardians were the coolest thing ever at the time, and the way they were built up in the story was really good. I'd love to revisit this game someday. Also, yeah, the screenshots added are from The Ship, not RIM Battle planets.
Those games also need your vote!

Monster Hunter
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises. Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid: Peace WalkerMetal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth video game and is the third action-based Metal Gear title made specifically for the PSP. The gameplay consists of two primary modes: Mission and Mother Base. Mission are the actual action sequences of the game where the player must infiltrate an enemy territory or fight a boss, whereas Mother Base is an army management. Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula: the player is now unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the first game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling ability.
