Like it or not, Star Trek: The Next Generation now looks horribly dated. What was once a cool view of the future now looks like a Holiday Inn in space. Still, there are some pieces of tech from ST:TNG that still inspire gadget lust, and one of those is the flat panel touch screens that show up on walls, in crew quarters, and yes, in portable form, throughout the series.

In space, they always say, no one can hear you scream, but it seems the ears of Freeverse, the developer of the just released space combat and trading game Warpgate, have picked up on some of the criticism concerning the game's more passive elements.
As our reviewer Tracy pointed out: "Warpgate HD fails to seize on its potential as a space game, opting for battles that grant you minimal control over the action. ... The game switches to a battle screen which automates ship movement, relegating you to the status of a button-pusher."
The good news then is that the just released v1.1 update provides some significant abilities in terms of increasing your combat interactivity.
