X3 Reunion is a pretty amazing game.
Stunning graphics, a little bit flight sim and a little bit builder with an incredible array of options from ship upgrades right down to how you want to play the game.
Set up mining colonies, bootleg contraband, bully everyone and pirate defeated ships and cargo. Ridiculously in depth game with virtually endless choices you can make.
I've also been a huge America's Army fan going back to the early versions. Greatest free FPS of all times and in many respects far superior to most games you buy. Created with the US Army as a training tool it's about the most realistic FPS I've ever seen. No faggot respawning and friendly fire is ALWAYS on. Take it to the next level and play game modes in which you receive no kill notifications, allowing for playing opossum and other sneaky shit and it can't be beat.
Not for run and gunners or Rambos (though both are great for increasing your frag rate
)and solid tactical play with a good clan of SMART players is HIGHLY recommended.
All that being said, in my opinion, the VERY BEST PC game ever is Falcon 4.0.
I've played with actual Falcon pilots who assure me that the physical flight characteristics, radar modes and weapons systems are stunningly accurate to flying the real thing.
The manual for the game is a 750 page behemoth but fear not as according to the creators much of what is printed in it can be as easily learned through an actual F-16 flight manual.
This game has a learning curve that will likely discourage many of even the most dedicated flight sim fans but if you're looking for realism without risking actual A to A combat or being blown out of the sky by SAMS, this game is FUCKING STUPID AWESOME!!!
Takes about 20 minutes from a cold start just to ready your bird for taxi (time can be compressed by 64x once you're good enough at the procedures to have time to kill while your radar aligns) but again, this thing is all about realism. Took me two weeks of playing daily to stick my first landing without damaging my tail or crashing and burning and the weapons systems are so complex that you need not even consider killing anything for a couple of months.
The game engine is off the charts as regardless whether you're in briefing, en route to target or whatever, the scenario plays on. Ground troops are moving and engaging real time and the mission lists change as flights depart, succeed or fail and return. A good HOTAS and set of rudder peddles is a MUST!!! But well worth the investment if you dig ultra realistic combat flight sims.
