It's a really old computer game that I had when I was 10 or younger. It was an awsome FPS that combines using your infantry and riding mechs. It was really awsome. And it has a pretty good plot too. Gnome was a lizard from a lab that scientists created. At as far as I can remember. But I know that Gnome was a lizard. I haven't beaten the game. Was too hard. But now I just want to play it again. And I really really hope that it is remade. I'll look for any info about the game.

So anyways, does this name ring a bell to you? 'Cause if it does, and you have played it, I like to talk about it. I don't mind any spoilers.

EDIT: Btw, G-nome. Sorry about that.

EDIT: I found it on amazon. Not much but at least you get to see the cover. And one review.

Review (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/gnome/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;review)

First thing I saw was,

G-NOME doesn't fully live up to its potential.

I'm like, hello. In it's defense it is 10 years old. It was an awsome game. You can't expect something that's 10 years old expecting it to be as good as Halo. Unless you're name is Super Mario World or something.

Anyways, try not to take the reviews too seriously. It is an old game.


EDIT: Ok, found info on wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-nome).


Early on, you learn that the G-Nome is a genetically modified killing machine.

Too bad they don't have pics for this game. As I explained it before, G-Nome is a giant lizard. lol Well, about 8-9 feet I think.

Sir, although the game itself is old, the reviews are equally old. Gamespot reviewed the game very much within the context of the time of release.

I remember the game. I remember it being terrible, especially when compared to "Battlezone", a similar action/RTS hybrid from the same era.

I realized that.

Terrible sure, but still. If perhaps they worked on it a bit more, it might be good. But to me it was still awsome.
