Does Starpoint Gemini 2 have the Brian Rubin Seal of Approval™?

LockerK · 2014-07-17T10:30:24.000Z

Of note in the QuakeCon sale, Elder Scrolls Online is now available on Steam.

Yes it does.

Might I invite you to my blog where you can find all of my worthwhile opinions, sir? :)

Thanks Brian, I look forward to watching that video later this evening. I’ve been eying SG2 for a while.

Oh, you need to get it. It’s so fun. Mix Freelancer with Starfleet Command and you have SG2.

Jumped on that for cheap OotP14. That’s even cheaper than I was willing to go to try one of them!

Its not the latest version, however. That’s OOTP15. But still, the differences are minor and a buck is a steal for a year-old version. There are even some online leagues still using 14, if that’s your thing.

Is it controllable with mouse and KB or just joystick?

BrianRubin · 2014-07-17T12:03:48.000Z

I’ve only used a mouse and keyboard.

I’m well aware of this, but since 15 didn’t get to $10 during the Steam sale, I’m fine with spending even less for the older version so I can actually try one of these games. I’m not a baseball guy at all and haven’t played any of these spreadsheet games, but I want to try one, and not having to spend $20+ to do so is a plus.

Cool. In that context, as I said, it’s a steal. PM me if you get lost/confused amid the spreadsheets. Having played since v9, I know it quite well.

It’s a little embarrassing how tempted I am by Fallout shirts.

Cook, Serve, Delicious is well worth $1. It’s worth about $10.

Seconded. A great little game. My only caveat is I prefer the control scheme on the tablet version.

Brian Rubin:

Yes it does.

The Steam video looks pretty nice, but I’m a bit put off that it’s not done, and that the first game (Star Point Gemini) has a Metacritic score of a whopping 46/100. That’s “this game molests babies” territory.

BrianRubin · 2014-07-17T19:51:36.000Z

The first game was great, I thought, but this one is way, way better. There’s plenty to do even now.
