I backed this game years ago only to find out the person who put it up wasn't really authorized to do so. Thankfully, I didn't lose much. I am however pleasantly surprised to see it on Steam in an updated version. Loved this game back then and still have the original backed up somewhere.

If you're a fan of sunken ships and seeing how they could potentially sink, this game is for you. Allows you to use a variety of ships (or create your own), cut 'em up or do a plethora of other things and see how the water makes its ingress as the ship slips beneath the waves impacting the bottom

10/10 would Titanic again.

A fun game to play when you're tired of FPS games and the like. Spent a few hours driving around, doing deliveries. Great for me who is home sick. Even though it's a digital USA, it's still the USA.

Out of all the TrackMania games which I enjoy, this is the one I enjoy the most. No fluff, just get from A to Z in the least amount of time. You can paint your own car which is fun and makes it unique to you, something I wish other racing games would adopt as a norm. Despite being made in 2008, this game still looks good in 2015. Crisp and clean graphics, nice sound effects and ambient noises. (I have the music turned down all the way.)

Simple mechanics to drive, use your arrow keys (or remap them to your liking), or my personal favorite, use a wired (or wireless) xBox controller. I find the xBox controller gives me the ability to fine tune my turns unlike a keyboard. I've also tried a steering wheel, but find myself jerking the wheel back and forth too much to make it enjoyable. It's the nature of the game though, and that's why I enjoy using the xBox controller.

My favorite feature of this game is the fact that it gives you the ability to create your own insane courses! Every time my friend and I have a "mini-LAN" (which consists of him and I), this is the one key game we play besides Diablo III and Battlefield. The real fun is spending a good hour and a half creating and testing a hair raising custom track for your friend to attempt to finish. The both of us have spent far too much time doing this, but it's time well spent!

Only recently did I discover this was available on Steam and not a separate stand-alone download from TrackMania which is awesome.

If you're looking for a free racing game that deals primarily with beating lap times, this is the one for you. It's free, and like all the other TrackMania games, really fun and hard to master.

Runs well on most laptops, even integrated Intel HD 3000 chips which is good as more can experience the game.

First off, it's important to realize this isn't "Star Trek" as we all know and love. This is a bastardized version set sometime in a future timeline. As long as you keep that in mind, it's a good game.

The original version of the game was going to be a true Star Fleet simulator, a ship with real life people onboard doing their tasks. Unfortunately, after the game changed hands, that line of thinking was scrapped to give us what we have today.

It's not a bad game, in fact it's rather enjoyable. Space combat is fun, as are the away missions. The story line is decent as well.

You can play this game without spending a dime, and that's what I recommend you do. The difference in ships you can get for free VS the ones you buy aren't big. The only thing I've spent money on is unlocking more bridges. (Five dollars for a bridge with three color variants.)

Overall it's a decent free MMORPG set in space with fun progression.

Robocraft, the best thing since Lego! I kid you not, I've not spent so much time in a game since Minecraft. You build your vehicle with blocks you unlock from battle, some of the designs I've seen are insane. From apartment buildings armed to the teeth - to X-Wing's and everything in-between... Your imagination is truly the limitation when it comes to your designs.

There's a lot of good things about this game, and there's a lot that leaves much to be desired. Since the good is too numerous to list, (seriously just play the game), I'll go with the much fewer bad points:

1) Flippers. These things are the bane of my existance. Yes, they'll flip you around ONLY if you'r vehicle is COMPLETELY still. This means, if you're stuck on your back and SLOWLY sliding downhill, you can't flip yourself around leaving your soft, meaty belly open to attack. Flippers seem to work on movement alone, not which side your vehicle is. I really hope they do something about this as flippers as they stand are useless.

2) Sattellites. Also known as "floating campers". Like campers, these bastards rely on sitting perfectly still to get a kill. Sometimes these crafts are nothing more than three blocks: A helium block, a seat, and of course the weapon. If you're not using an SMG or Rail gun, they're virtually impossible to take out.

3) Custom settings. This annoys me almost as much as the flippers do. I know my computer best, and what it can and cannot do. So please, let ME decide which settings to use instead of some set "low-medium-high" choices preventing me from tailoring the game to my computers capabilities.

4) Connection errors. Lately I've joined a game only to be disconnected. Thankfully this doesn't happen much, but when it does it ruins my mood to play.

5) Block detection. You can tell this is an early version of the game. Sometimes you'll delete blocks behind the actual block you wanted to delete when you're building, or updating your vehicle. Also, some blocks have issues detecting where other blocks are. That in itself isn't a big issue, just annoying.

That's it for now. I realize the game is still in its infancy, so please remember that as you look over my review. I'm sure the majority, if not all of these issues will one day be addressed. In the mean time, the game is more than playable. It's extremely fun, and addicting! So before you decide to download it, make sure to evaluate your time as this game will make hours seem like minutes!
