For fans of the Wing Commander series, this week marked the release of the Wing Commander Saga title. A fan project created over 10 years ago, finally completed this week.
If you were a fan of this series, or of space combat sims in general, then this game should be right up your alley. The download clocks in at over 3 gigabytes and it is one of the most professional fan made games I have played. It uses the Freespace 2 engine, but it is a stand-alone game and does not require the game Freespace2 to play.
Remember this game is completely free, and it has joystick support as well(huzzah!).
