Recommend good games with giant robots.

Besides ZoE of course. I know they're good games, I'll get them eventually.
So, I'm curious. What games out there are good and feature giant mechanized creatures of steel and death? Something along the lines of Metal Warriors.
I vaguely remember a genesis game I think? There was a giant robot and a mutant or something on the cover? I might be making it up though.

Other option that spirngs to mind is the classic beat-em-up One Must Fall 2097 for pc, which has been freeware for a while now. You'll need Dosbox to run it, though.
And yes, ZOE 2 is most worth your time.
Oh crap, forgot about Transformers.
I'll wait and see how the new one is first though. Sounds like it'll be good.
Metal Wolf Chaos
Early reports of the new one are.... mixed, particulalrly as regards controls.
Destructable 3d cities = good, but otherwise I'm not sure it'd have much over the armada game.
Giant Robots? Check!
Invading space aliens? Check!
Cheesey 80s style voice acting? Check!
Destructible City? Check!
Upgrades to your transforming giant robots? Check!
You can thank me later.
I never asked for this!
I need that sound clip so badly.
all of them
Lost Planet has some pretty awesome mechs.
Front Mission 3 was excellent but it's a bit old (PS1). Front Mission 4 is good as well but it felt kind of shallow in comparison to 3. They're also both turn based strategy game so, well, yeah every different from ZoE.
Mechwarrior 4. Again, it's old but it's classic for giant robots. Also, fuck you Microsoft for not having MW5 out yet or even in development.
Steambot Chronicles. Not the same thing as ZoE at all (think steam powered Mechs that drive like tanks) but definately worth playing through.
I keep saying this, but they really, really, really fucking need to make a Virutal On game for the Wii.
I swear. I fucking swear, if I ever hear anyone say this again I am going to fucking start murdering people.:evil:
Where Madness and the Fantasical Come to Play
I have it. It sucks, and doesn't really play like Virtual On. It's an action game instead of a fighting game.
This is your problem.
I can't see Virtual On on the wii. It doesn't make sense to me.
Xbox 360. With a Virtual Stick 360 controller. Orgasms x 100.
How is this a cop-out?
Yeah, I think it's less of a cop-out and more of the only reasonable response.
MechWarrior 3 was great, if you can stand an oldish game.
Omega Boost for the PSX is fun as hell, and no one ever really mentions it for some reason. It's straight up action with an agile flying mech that can blast shitloads of missiles everywhere (reminiscent of ZoE's laser missiles). I suggest Battle Engine Aquila as well. You can probably find it for $20 or less, and it's a unique and thoroughly enjoyable mech game where you alternate between a fairly slow moving ground mech or a jet with the press of a button.
Also, I second the Armored Core (Yalb's description of it as the Gran Turismo of mech games is accurate) and Robot Alchemic Drive (it's just awesome) suggestions.
Voice acting aside, that game is awesome and I think everyone should own it.
At least I think they're robots.
It's pretty decent if you can find it (old, old game with dated graphics, though). I played through it twice back in the day and enjoyed it thoroughly. If you've played Heavy Gear 1 at all, though, I'm going to warn you that HG2 is almost completely different. Not nearly as much customization, and the customization system they have makes very little sense. Also, the later levels get really hard really fast.
Was it any good?
Robot Alchemic Drive
already been sugegsted
and YES
The Wii really does need some sort of giant lumbering mech game. The pointer/analog stick combination just seems like it would fit really well, especially if you're supposed to only be able to turn slowly.
