Dead Space.

 

Yeah, certainly an awesome looking game, with a good atmos, not my kind of game at all though.

I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. 

Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.

Down and out on the Solomani Rim
Now the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!

Man. How could I forget these old games:

 

-Battlezone (Remake)

Tanks in space set in the 1970s in the cold war era? Awesome.

 

-Heavy Gear 2.

HEAVY GEAR 2 dammit. Hot damn!

Man. I recalled the first mission in the game set in the swamp which was simply a cakewalk, involving your squad stomping on puny peeps. The atmosphere of the swamp in the rain, the sound effects and explosions from missles that moves in a wavy motion resembling Itano circus. The militaristic music that sets a mix of dangerous and heroic tone. It was simply an incredible experience combined.

 

Later on where stealth is actually integral in the gameplay, you have to tranverse the woods with your squad mates while proned, hoping the enemies nearby won't detect your presence. Slowly and deliberately your mechs sludge through the place to set up a proper ideal ambush. The atmospheric woods made the gameplay even more involved.

 

Man, this is one of the sequels which is definitely 200% vast improvement over its predecessor in many ways. I want Heavy Gear 3. If its an RPG, its a definite ++.

What the hell guys? Shame on you. Shame. On. You.

 

Tie Fighter

Tie Fighter is a lot earlier but the space sim that holds up best today is proabably Freespace 2.

 

On a completely different note. If you like Co-op then right now you cant go wrong with Left 4 Dead. Its a wonderfully realised game that fully plays on the campy nature of zombie flicks.

Dead Space and Bioshock.

 

There. That should be enough.

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Agreed. I love the English evil people giving briefings.

 

Also:

 

I think there is a lack of atmosphere in space.
