Life in the Machine
 Life in The Machine is a game where two players control characters who are part of an intergalactic war team called "The Machines." These machines come equipped with different weapons that they use to fight their enemies, but also have the ability for one player character (a pilot) and another vehicle's weapon or body parts. To win this battle-driven story game, each player must make decisions about whether a mech should be used as its primary gunner vs other devices on hand; these choices affect victory points awarded to that particular machine in different ways over the course of gameplay time between missions during battles with opposing factions and alien races scattered across their galaxy.
