The return of the mack: Luc Bernard's new game is out photo

Yes friends, from here on out, Luc Bernard will officially be known as "The Mack", and he has returned. Ironically, his theme song is not the 70's funk hit by the same name, it's actually What's up doc, can we rock?. As for the game he's returned with, it's called Mecho Wars. I love the way it looks, and if the gameplay can keep up, it could be a new favorite. I don't have an iPhone yet so it will be a little while before I find out myself, but Luc has hinted that the game could come to WiiWare or the DS at some point. I'll believe it when I see it; Eternity's Child still hasn't come out on WiiWare as promised, so only time will tell.

iPhone owners can buy Mecho Wars here.

You can expect to see a lot more of Luc in the coming months. He's reportedly the new head of a second game studio based out of Atlanta, working on getting a Mecho Wars cartoon made, and in the process of making a reality show. Keep tabs on the guy via his Cblog, which has also returned, with behind-the-scenes Mecho Wars production art to boot.

I've already said it Luc but release this game on XBLA or Wiiware so I can try it!!! You still haven't released Eternity Child on Wii yet either.

Well , I can assure that you're not missing much by the lack of Eternity's Child on WiiWare ...

Luc seems to have a habit of making amazing looking games that don't play so amazingly. I suppose habit is the wrong word since there was really only one other, but.....

Anyways, this game certainly looks interesting. If I had an iPhone I would definitely get it. Has anyone played it yet? Is it just pretty or is there a decent game behind the beautiful art?

Considering how EC got a 1/10, and Jim gave Velvet Assasin no score at all. What would be the next benchmark to push. A blank review page?

Shining Force certainly doesn't look like Fire Emblem, but this isn't about that... this is about how much Mecho Wars totally doesn't resemble Advance Wars in any way! Even the names sound different!

You remade Advance Wars with aliens? Cool bro.

Seriously, if I had an iPhone I'd consider getting it. Beg your publisher to put this on the XBLA.

The art looks nice, and you can't go wrong ripping off Advance Wars, but how did you program this? Last I checked, you had tossed your programmer under a car driven by an angry mob while you ran away.

i bought the game tonight and it's really well done. There aren't that many advance wars type games on the appstore so this one is an easy buy for me. The graphics/animations are top notch. The music has a cool vibe to it too. To be honest, if you enjoy turn based strategy games you will surely dig this game. Buy it and support this guy. From what i've played so far, he did a great job.

@Luc - As long as that team does a smashing job porting the game then it's all good. :)

I like the art and if it is solid Advance Wars gameplay it would be a good buy.

okay, I got the game and have already beaten the third chapter. So far so good, the controls are solid and the gameplay is.....exactly the same as advanced wars, which is a good thing. One problem, but it might just be my fat fingers, is sometimes i have to touch on a guy a few times to highlight him.
