Do you remember Formation Z? Don't you? Then at least try a modern remake that preserves the spirit of the original and modernizes it wonderfully.

Pilot a war machine against an alien invasion, in true Gundam style, with a giant robot that transforms into a spaceship.

FZ: Formation Z is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up and run-and-gun game, making it an interesting combination of genres that work fairly well but doesn't feel fully utilized. The game is very short though, and while it's designed around replayability I didn't feel a reason to keep playing after a couple runs. While I still recommend giving a shot, I only see fans of the genre sticking with it.
