Robot Arena 2 is a very special game to a tiny subset of the internet who adore the sport of robot combat. Since this came out in 2003, there still hasn't been a true successor that does a better job than this - there are some in development that are shaping up to dethrone this, but for now, thanks primarily to the modding scene, this remains the best complete robot combat game out there.

Of course, that's not to say it's flawless, or even especially great, in it's vanilla form at least. The Havok physics engine is crazy at the best of times, crashes are frequent, the AI can be cheap assholes and the limit on repairs are a nightmare considering that the AI is free of such restrictions.

Still, it's freeware these days so....what the hell?
