Wing Commander is the second game listed and the one that gets the most said about it. The writer mentions pretty much the whole series (I've only skimmed it so far so don't know if Prophecy, Academy and Privateer are mentioned), yet he counts Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: TIE Fighter as two separate games even though they are part of the same series. Ah well.
Chris Roberts, Star Citizen and Freelancer also get a brief mention at the start of the article
