Simple, time consuming and exciting. You don't get much better than Freelancer. Fly, shoot and dodge your way through hundreds of missions and storyline to find out that it's 4am on a Thursday morning. Once you finish the story, you can continue improving your bank account balance and upgrading your ship. Finish the achievements and you know your the master of space. I loved this game and hope that those of you out there get the chance to play this wonderful thing known as Freelancer.

This has always been one of my favorites. No matter how many times I come back to it, I still enjoy it. The controls are easy to use, the graphics are excellent for the specs required (used to run it on my slow dell). The story line takes quite a while, and you are constantly allowed to stop and explore. Once you have finished the story line, there is the entire galaxy for you to explore, with tonnes of ships. If you ever do get bored, download some mods, and play it from the beginning. Defiantly worth any amount of money.
