Lets talk about the games...
I have played nearly all of them and most of them were great!
I particularly like the "Bridge Commander" because of its amazing graphics and the real inside fealing of star trek. It goes through a series of missions each one getting more and more information about the vesuvi event and the Big Explosion. What brings it more to life is that you can actually issue orders verbally! cool huh.
Well lets move on... Star Trek Armada, not a bad game real-time strategy. Its performance in graphics and missions and various other options are commendable. They really give you the chance to plan out how where when your gonna attack the enemy. You can be 4 races , klingon, borg, federation, romulan. You can also interact and take the game further and play against leading competitors online.
Star Trek armada 2, well a bit of improvement in the missions area and the layout of it but thats all really. I expected to have seen more "larger" more "powerful" ships, but still the same old ships. The graphics are commendable just as its predeccessor and the gameplay is not bad.
I like Star Trek armada because it has that sort of well theme to it, you know out in 3d space looking above starbases and ships and enemys, the kind of game youd play when you were bord or just dont have anything to do, to get your brain back in action.
Star Trek starfleet command 1-2-3. Very impressive number 3. I like the 3rd starfleet command because of the graphics and the amount of missions and the amount of things you can do. You can customize your weoponry and armour and cloaking devices, you can go and do countless number of skirmishes and choose your ship and whose on you team, select the part of the galaxy quadrant you want to play in. You choose what supplies you whant, how many marines your officers and when to fire when to raise shields and when to tractor a target how fast to go and when to warp. This is a detailed outstanding game that should be bought and played by all trekkie fans.This game can also be played against people on the net.
I like also "Hidden Evil" and "Elite Force" because of there first person shoot-em'. There are a number of weopons and missions and things to do.
These games have high detailed graphics with a good storyline worth following. These games are worth playing.
Star Trek "New Worlds" what a dissapointment. The graphics are poor and the layout and ships and everything about it is poor, not my sort of game i guess but it just deosnt appeal to me. If your dedicated to getting all games and enjoy all games then by all means dont let my opinion put you off.
Star Trek starship creator 1-warp2. These are quite good if you have the time and like planning and building, this isnt really a game its more of a use your brain type "game". You can customize a ship in any way, from hull to sensors and cabin quatres. The ships you create can be imported to games like Starfleet command 3, i am not to sure about any other games as i havent tried it. But theres a downfall, money yes theres money involved when you are building your ship. But not to worry there are trainers you can download to give you unlimited money! I think www.gameguru.com does it.
Anyways ive done enough talking for the night and hope you trekkies will TREK on!

I think I remember that!
I bought a phaser thing, or something.
Yes, Star Trek Voyager is good, the rest, pffft.
i think it was fact number 6 which said that if a ship the same size of the enterprise was going at even half the speed of light and struck a piece of space dust about 6mm in diameter it would cause an explosion the with the same energy of about 5 atomic bombs. LOL.. the little animation they did of it was funny.
If anyone saw the program this week then they could tell you exact numbers of atomic bombs.
LOL.. i bet im the only person here that could put together the physical equasion for the collision.. LOL.. if i knew the weight of the enterprise (or whatever the ships called) and the weight of that bit of space dust.
