I wondered about the name as the only thing that came up is a mod for Oblivion called Starship Orionhttp://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10020Seem to be some sort of spaceship house for Oblivion, haven’t got a copy of Oblivion and could not find any pics of it so it’s a bit of a mystery.

today for all 3 games I brought......UFO aftermath (almost had kittens) total war shogun with expansionand a game I never heard of before......X3, sounds promising reading the back of the case but could be total rubbish

not heard of that expansion for oblivion and I thought I knew that game inside out

It’s rare that I buy new games think the last one was Starpoint Gemini, anyhow I have bought a new old one or is it remake. In other words the Monkey island special edition collection with the remake of monkey 1 & 2 on it.Most annoying thing is the DVD drive won’t recognise the disk so I can’t play it. Blast Radius on the PS1Wing commander Armada, one more to get and I should have the complete set.Outcast excellent game although it suffers from a bad controls.

I recently purchased the X3 series of 4X space/sim games, but problems with printing out a readable manual have slowed my learning curve to crawl with this game. I also purchased Evochron Mercenary, which has much better docs. The game seems immersive, but the first part (consisting of mining, cleaning solar arrays, delivering packages,etc.) seems very boring. I would like to shot at something. I am still waiting to hear better news about Sword of Stars 2 before I buy it. Unfortunately I have found nothing that compares to Freelancer or even Darkstar One in the space sim/combat arena. And nothing that compares to Galatic Civilizations II for a good 4X game. I could never get use to the pace of Sins of Solar empire although I thought it was a good game. Any recommendations out there?

Finally bought Mass Effect 2 but who knows if I will ever get around to playing it as I still haven’t finished the first one.Thief Deadly shadow on Xbox, played this on the PC when it first come out but only got about half way through it.Terroanova big box version, never played this but it has been recommended a couple of times on another forum as being very good.Mechassault 2 on the Xbox, no idea what it like as I have not looked at it yet.

I recently pick up East India Company and really enjoying it. Build a trade empire and fight off rivals in ship to ship battles. Kind of reminds me of Elite but with water and cannons

You will like this a lot. I would finish the 1st one because it will help you setup your storyline for the 2nd game.

I had this for the Xbox and enjoyed the game a lot, it does get pretty hard close to the end. So outfit your mechs wisely.

I don’t know why but I just never really taken to the Mass Effect games.But I will try to get through the first one so I can use my save game from it in the second one.WIll have to fire up the XBox and see what that mech game is like.

Catherine on PS3. SpaceSim-wise the 4th copy of Star Ruler :DA bit off-topic: if someone hasn't already bought Sword of the Stars ([url]http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SOTS/sword-of-the-stars[/url] and has a GamersGate account, I have an unused copy I could gift (SotS only, not the complete collection).

Bit of an odd one. "Braid" on Xbox live arcade. Mind bendingly tricky time control platformer with a story surprisingly deep and metaphorical. So much that forums everywhere are discussing it like the meaning of life or something! Dont research it too much if you want to try it, better just to play and see what you make of it. I even have the soundtrack off itunes!ps. not very space sim I know, but I thought the time control might count a little bit

Hey, nothing wrong with a little non space sim related content as my previous post shows Oh and I too have Braid (Steam version). Now you mentioned it on XBox Live, I am going to try my wired XBox controller and see how I fair with it. Also just one more un space sim comment (promise! ) GOG have now fixed Earth 2140! The dud AI of the windows version of the game made it unplayable, but GOG now have the superior DOS version of the game on deck! If you bought the windows version already, you can re-download the DOS version for free

Bought a copy of Starship Trooper the FPS one, have read it really bad so I look forward to playing this.

Cant get this to run on Windows 7 at the moment, but from what I recall of the game, it reminded me of the Serious Sam games where you have hoards of enemies on screen. My old PC could run it, but it suffered from low frame rates.

Well i bought two games recently Cue Club and GTA vice city. I just love to play these games in my spare time.

Found a game called Cholo, its a remake of a game I've never seen, just downloaded it cos the screenies looked so much like Tron.http://cholo.ovine.net/terminal/cholo-quick-start.php
