Game DOA
Game just will not start for me. I've been troubleshooting for an hour now, added -directx to startup, checked my drivers, verified integrity. It just will not run. I had the same issue with the steam version. Game's great if you can get it to run.

Losing is FUN!
Seriously though, you'll probably play it 20-50 times before you actually beat the final boss, but you learn a little bit each time you play. You laugh at the funny quests you do, you cry when your pilot and gunner die defending your mechanic, you'll scream in furry when you only jump 5 times then your ship blows up, you'll jump in delight when you earn a new ship or layout, but you'll keep coming back because it's awesome and you just know you'll do a little better the next time.

A fantastic space simulation
Now here's an interesting take one the space-combat genre: instead of focusing on your ship's maneuvering, shield sections firing arcs and such, it focuses on your crew. After all, they're are the most important part of your ship: they pilot it, they fire the guns - and they keep it intact during heated battles. As a roguelike (more or less), this game is very hard and features lots of randomization in the kind of encounters you'll have, so you never really know what comes next. Combat is refreshing and offers some interesting tactics, and the ships you can unlock for the next playthrough are very different from your standard ship and require very different tactics. All in all, a very fun and addicting game!

Nethack in space :)
I wasn't very impressed by the game initially, especially by it;s nonsense trailer and 10$ price-tag. Now that GOG is running it at 6$ I decided to give it a try. It starts with a nice a short tutorial afterwards you're thrown in the deep. After my third death on easy mode I've reached the final boss under an hour of play. :) In addition, the game presents a progressive disclosure where various ships and goodies are unlocked based on some achievements. Highly recommended :)

Brilliant game
This wasn't even on my radar, even though I've enjoyed games like Privateer in the past. However, after seeing it on sale and reading the numerous glowing reviews, I thought I would try it out. It's fantastic - addicting, simple yet complex . . . I've played a few times and still haven't made it to the final sector. One small negative that will be fixed soon - the game is native 720p. Not an issue for me, but my cousin still has an old CRT monitor, and the game wouldn't work for him.
