You could add a few other nitpicks to the list of DarkStar One: Broken Alliance's minor problems. The inability to drop a side mission in progress can be a real pain if you select one that takes you to a location you haven't yet unlocked, for example. Sometimes, selecting a neutral object on your target list will not select it on your screen, while another bug may keep you from collecting all 100 available artifacts. Yet with all its foibles, this space combat sim is a lighthearted and enjoyable adventure that could last you upward of 30 hours, depending on how quickly you decide to blow through the story. If you've been looking to light up the heavens with lasers and missiles, there's no reason you shouldn't forgive DarkStar One's flaws and take to the intergalactic trade lanes.
Aaron from Leviathyn.com takes a look at some of his favorite bad video game intro cutscenes and opening movies, from consoles past and present.
Ha it was awful even back then when fmv games were "da bomb". Yeh that didn't last.
Sonic CD and Silpheed were the only memorable Sega cd games (from my old broken memory at least)
The other one I had was Jurassic Park. I was stuck at the T-Rex screen, where you had to steal its eggs. I found out years later after I sold it that I needed a bullhorn or something to scare it away.
Aaron from Leviathyn.com has concerns about the new crowdfunding attempt by space-sim auteur Chris Roberts. But he's rather excited, too.
With so many awesome games this year, it's easy to forget those gems that didn't have a multi-million dollar marketing campaign behind them. W75's Blair Hicks takes a look at a diamond in the rough that you might want to pick up after you're done playing Arkham City...and Skyrim...and Saints Row...and..
any space combat game is like a sandwich to a starving man at this point. 5 years of 7th gen gaming and we've had ONE (silpheed on 360) besides this.
seriously, where the eff are the space combat games? wheres some mech games? something like wing commander or mech assault are absolutely screaming to be put on xbl or psn. vehicle shooters are a massive, unfilled gap this gen.
