Maybe....maybe it's a signal, maybe...I'm a born mechwarrior!!!!!

Oh, it's a trademark dispute? Nevermind.
I remember having a T-Shirt of that from when I went back to England. Name changes like that always make me chuckle.

Microsoft bringing Trenched to Europe as 'Iron Brigade'
Trenched is one of my favorite Xbox Live Arcade titles from recent months, but our good friends in Europe have been anxiously awaiting word on when the alternate-history fusion of mech combat and tower defense would hit their shores following a trademark dispute with board game designer Rui Alípio Monteiro. Microsoft has apparently chosen to back away from the conflict and announced today at gamescom that the game will be released as "Iron Brigade" in Europe. Well, that's half of the puzzle solved. Europeans now know the name of the game that they're going to want to buy at some point. Now it's only a question of when. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Fun game. I'm glad they got that worked out so tons of people can play now. I'm holding out hope for some DLC. Good good good, was just coincidentally reading this om wikipedia, then saw this on destructoid...
Maybe....maybe it's a signal, maybe...I'm a born mechwarrior!!!!! ![]() I guess it makes sense to not make light of trenches in Europe. Kind of like releasing a sci-fi multiplayer game in Rwanda called "Genocided."
Oh, it's a trademark dispute? Nevermind. One particular British friend of mine has been extremely frustrated over this delay. I personally love the game, so I feel for Europe on this one. I'm glad they're finally eventually probably gonna get it. It will give me an excuse to pick it back up... assuming you can play the same game with a different name over two continents.

I remember having a T-Shirt of that from when I went back to England. Name changes like that always make me chuckle. Iron Brigade still sounds cool!
