New Hawken story trailer full of drunken missile action

Trailer: At last, we get an idea on what's going on in the impressive looking mech combat game, Hawken.

Remember Hawken, the drop-dead sexy looking mech game that fired our city-stomping imagination earlier in the year? Well, if you need a primer, check out our interview with the devs - and then watch this new story trailer.
