Rating: Summary: Resistance is Futile Review: Well-written and with high production values, and combining some of the best elements of Star Trek with a puzzle-solving game, Star Trek: Borg is a must-have for fans of both genres. While some of the puzzles are quite tricky (and, in this game, you actually need to make some mistakes), due in large measure to John de Lancie's characteristically droll performance ("My name is Q--its short for Q"), the game also stands up quite well as a Star Trek installment. I was initially frustrated with this product, due to a bug in the software that prevents its being installed on certain PC's, but after downloading the patch (when can we expect software companies to actually finish the product before putting it on the market?) and receiving some advice from Simon & Schuster's tech support (which was surprisingly easy to reach and helpful), my irritation was dispelled as I sat back and began to enjoy the game. Bugs aside, this game is a great value. Trekkers will not be disappointed.
