^^ x3 reunion is a great game, but with great bugs and a really really huge epic scope. only buy if you dare, it really is the mother of all space sims. darkstar one is good for a bit of a play, but becomes very very samey pretty early on. having said that im still playing it, it just isnt up there with some of the great titles from the past.

if youre looking for a superb space sim (no buying just shooting) you cant go past freespace 2. prob only $10 these days too. awesome game.

here's another one gumble. more of a shooter this time due in september. lacks joystick support for some reason tho?? now that's just GAY.

quote:

Tarr Chronicles is a space sim being developed by Russian developer Kvazar Studio. Like old-fashioned space sims, such as Freespace or TIE Fighter, Tarr Chronicles is all about climbing into a nimble space fighter and dogfighting it amongst the stars. At the same time, the game also promises a considerable amount of customization, along with some cutting-edge graphics. Like almost every space sim, Tarr Chronicles qualifies for space-opera status. The game is about a lost human fleet that discovers an ancient city on a mysterious planet. This event triggers a fierce alien response, and you, as one of the fleet's fighter pilots, must fly to defend the Battlecruiser Talestra as it attempts to make its way home. That involves plenty of dogfighting in up to 60 customizable fighter craft, ranging from fighters and bombers to corvettes, which are basically heavy fighters. The enemy in this case is the alien De'Khete, a race that is only described as unstoppable. But it'll be up to you and your wingmen to try.
