Bridge Commander (or any games)
 
Has anyone here played Star Trek: Bridge Commander? Its graphics are fantastic, the story and length are amazing (30+ missions that take 3/4 - 1 hour to do). Its cheap, for a tenner a brand spanking new copy is yours, its combat is WOW! Instead of the usual arcadey battles, combat is vey akin to naval battles or submarine fights. You have to use personal tactics, do you target their weapons aray too stop them firing on you or their sensors thus leaving them blind? Do you boost power too your sheilds and try to tempt them into a dust cloud or do you pool reserve power into yourengines in the hope of escape? Do you captin a Klingon Bird of Prey and use its nimbleness to get up close and into the enemy's blind spots or a Kessok, in which case keeping a distance and letting your advanced phasers and torpedoes cut through their hull? Its fun either taking direct control of your craft or shouting orders to your crew (you can actually shout using a microsoft microphone!) Your ship can be fully customised to your tastes and with ace multiplayer as well, it, well it simply rocks!

I got a free demo with Star Trek Monthly, but I couldn't get it to work. Just like Mike Oldfield's Music VR demo in that sense...
