Could the fan-made ‘Wing Commander’ sequel, the Kickstarter-backed ‘Starlight Inception’ and the mobile ‘Rogue Star’ lead the way for the return of space sims?
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As time went on it became clear that many of these projects were hobbyist titles and a large amount of the developers had never actually researched the practicalities of launching a game on Vita, leading to an ever-increasing number of cancellations over the years. And yet some delivered. It’s this I’m aiming to examine in this article – how many projects succeeded in reaching the Vita, how many failed, and how many are in limbo, as well as a conclusion on the overall state of Kickstarter (and other crowdfunding sources) on the handheld."

Proficient pilots can earn a good living from picking up cargo pods. These can sometimes be found in the debris of destroyed ships or are occasionally dumped in space lanes.
(CriticalIndieGamer) Well, here we are again, choosing the mould from the gold(is that a saying?), picking out the cream of the crap. Truth be told, it has been another so-so gaming year for me. With the exception of a few truly stellar titles, it has all been a bit forgettable. But these abominations deserve a special mention. For crimes against gaming they have been deemed my worst games of 2014 – play them at your peril.
I would say as far as disappointing games go Watch Dogs is on the list but it's not a bad game just like Infamous Second Son which was disappointing compared to the first Infamous game.
I'll be doing a dissapointing games tomorrow! These games on the other hand are just ones I found to be flat out bad.
i preferred this new infamous to the first one, infamous 2 has been my favourite so far though.
I think the length of the story is what made it disappointing to me. The most disappointing games to me are the ones that felt like they could be so much better with more time to focus on story.
Are these all PC games? Suprised they didn't include that Air Flight Control game. What a mess that game was.
NAh these aren't all PC games. There's a few Playstation titles in there too.
I'm going on the games that I personally played this year :)
I want space games back, but more Aubird Force, Mater of Orion or Infinite Space on the PS3/360.
We need more game variety period. As much as I love halo bf killzone arma and resorchestra there are too many shooters.
Imagine them with today's graphics...
Interestingly timed article for me personally. I'm currently playing Freelancer and was just thinking the other night how awesome it would be to have something similar with so many options of play (be a trader, miner, fighter pilot) and then realized that we do. X 1-3, Freespace, EVE. Has anyone seen the Cyborg flight stick, thing makes me want to build a cockpit. Which brings me to a quick point. I was very surprised that people don't really build cockpit setups for space sims, only flight sims. I thought there would be a bunch of hardcore EVE players with setups, but can't find any when I googled.
Cheers.
