There are some really great Star Trek games, that will guarantee hours of fun for Star Trek fans. If you hate Star Trek, stop reading now, because you won’t enjoy the games.
Star Trek Legacy (PC DVD)(XP, Vista)
There are 2 things you need to be aware of: to take full advantage of this game’s great graphics you will need a top of the line graphics card and the initial release of the game had problems, so you will have to patch it some.
You play this game from the view point of the 3 great captains, Archer then Kirk then Picard. You control the periods Enterprise and up to 3 additional vessels. Which you will use to complete vital missions. You will go up in ship to ship combat against the Romulans, the Klingons and the Borg.
The ship to ship combat control has been made much easier in Legacy. Some fans of these types of games will like it and others won’t.
I found the combat to be exciting and the storyline compelling. I can recommend this game to all Star Trek fans.
Star Trek Elite Force 2 (PC)(Windows 98, 2000, Me, XP)
Star Trek Elite Force 2 is the best Star Trek game out there today. It is a shootem up, running on the quake 3 engine. Which translates into awesome graphics. You lead a special forces team in a range of battles. Your arsenal is not limited to phasors, you also get to wield Romulan disruptors and Klingon Bat’Leths. Use your federation scanner to stay on top of the situation. All in all a great game well worth buying.
Star Trek Armada (PC CD)(Windows 98, XP, Me)
Star Trek armada is a strategy game along the lines of Warcraft, Starcraft and Red Alert. You mine ore and dilitium which you use to build a base and a fleet, then you throw down against the opposing forces. You get to play the Federation, Romulans and Klingons in various scenarios, you also come up against the Borg. Armada is an older game, released in 2000 and it does show it’s age. But still a great game for Star Trek fans.

how much will startrek online cost? couldn’t find the info
They haven’t announced the monthly subscription fee yet. It will probably be around $10 per month, because that is normal for MMORPGs. Hopefully they will consider the first bit beta testing and let us play free for a couple of months.
I made your link do follow, because that blog of yours deserves more than PR 2.
Yeah. agree with you. Hope they consider a free beta testing
i have manaed to play some coll games with free betas hehe
thanks for the link juice
I’m really excited for this game. I’m also hoping they will have some type of beta program available. Space games are my favorite and obviously things like Star Trek would be awesome. Right now the most popular MMO style space game is Eve online, not sure if you have played that one. It will be interesting to see what the new Star Trek MMO game does to the Eve subscriber base.
