Remember the Wing Commander series? Space sims, fast action, evolving story line... How come they don't make games like that any more?
Well, turns out they do, at least in Poland. Space Interceptor really satisfies the space sim jones, features great graphics (albeit wooden voice acting), and its only flaw, really, is its short playtime. But for $10 bucks, who can complain?

Convicts in Space
Back in the 90s, the conventional industry published a series of excellent space shooters with considerable depth of story--games like the Wing Commander series and Privateer. They seem to have gone out of fashion at retail, but if you remember them fondly, Cellblock Squadrons may be just the ticket.
"Diablo Lite"
Evil Invasion is in the mold of fast, frenetic overhead-view third-person shooters like Crimsonland or Robotron, but with a difference: rather than gory combat with futuristic weapons, this game is set in a fantasy world, the "weapons" are magic spells, and there's an RPG-like character advancement system. You can think of it as "Diablo Lite," if you will; more retro graphics, and not as much depth, but a similar aesthetic. Good gory fantasy fun.
