Really great and little known open ended "space" sim with a focus on trading. The word they created in this game isn't huge, but is very alive and has a dynamic economy that kept me busy for hours and hours. The flying mechanics of the ships and ability to buy property and set up your own trade empire is really well done without being as overwhelming as the later X series games.

As I exit the hangar in my flimsy hovering vehicle, and I see the cloud layers, the fog, the constant lightning, I realize I stepped into a truly alien world. Rough, dangerous, but also beautiful in an eerie way. Just a few inhabited craters on some remote corner of the Solar System. It might not seem like much, but it's actually a lot. The grim colony is brimming with activity. Commerce, manufacturing, extraction, shady deals, killings, intrigue, politics, secrets and survival. Harsh life and quick unexpected death. You wouldn't want it any other way. Rushing to exploit the newest opportunity. Chilling to the metallic hum of the hangar. Escaping by the skin of your teeth. Rolling in dough. Putting your mark on the world. Your world, really. Because by now, this horrid place has become your home sweet home. And you wouldn't want it any other way.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Crimson Skies
Crimson SkiesThe series is set within an alternate history of the 1930s invented by Weisman and McCoy. Within this divergent timeline, the United States has collapsed, and air travel has become the most popular mode of transportation in North America; as a result, air pirates thrive in the world of Crimson Skies. In describing the concept of Crimson Skies, Jordan Weisman stated he wanted to "take the idea of 16th century Caribbean piracy and translate into a 1930s American setting."
