Star Wars: X-Wing Collector's Edition

Summary: All Time Classics
Review: Even in their original forms, both of these games have been on my hard drive since they first game out. With the exception of Elite, the Star Wars games were the first space sims to feel like you were actually flying in a 3D environment, not playing a 2D arcade game (sorry Wing Commander fans). Add 2 fantastic Star Wars story lines (both well fleshed out in the respective strategy guides), a chance to sample the overall lackluster sequel, updated graphics, and win 95 funtionality for under $20, and you can't go wrong. Freespace fans, check out the originals, and pick up Alliance. Its nice to see the series back on track.

Summary: All that's missing is Ben Kenobi whispering in your ear...
Review: This collection of all the X-wing titles (before Tie Fighter) is a great value, and an excellent introduction into the wonderful world of Rebel dogfighting. The sound effects, the graphics, the atmosphere--all of it evokes images of your favorite space battles in the Star Wars movies. You get to start slow, and work your way up to the really tough missions--and you'll need the time to learn, trust me! Quite simply one of the most all-around enjoyable games I've ever played.

Summary: The best game ever made. period.
Review: TIE Fighter, even now, is, simply put, the best computer game ever made. Other people might say it's Civ II, and some would say that it was outclassed by Freespace or Wing Commander, but they are mistaken. TIE Fighter had a story. Not just a "we've been attacked, go and shoot them back" story but a very deep story, which involved the pilot. Furthermore, it had original missions. It wasn't just "go shoot them" or "help defend us", you do things like flying escort, scouting, recon, spying, etc. Well, basically, go look at PCGamer's review of it and rating, and see what other games have gotten better ratings than it. one has, and they're wrong. That having been said, this is basically TIE Fighter (and X-Wing, another respectable game) with updated graphics. They didn't put on Xwing versus TIE Fighter's truly awful control or interface, all they did was update the graphics. The result is that now the best game ever made has graphics to suit. No real computer gamer can afford to be without this.
