Everybody forgets that most of the Wing Commander series, including their favorite games and awesome new things like Star Soldier, were only made possible by EA taking a chance on Wing Commander. There haven't been many WC games lately, but EA does still continue to produce and publish other great games - Warhammer Online, Rock Band 2, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead and Red Alert 3 are all super games that have just come out in the last few months.
I haven't played Star Soldier .I don't even know what type of game it is .As for an Online game by EA I will not fall for that again .I still remember Motor City Online .I had to pay about $60 for the game to start with .Get a new video card to get a decent frame rate .Then where I lived at the time my only internet access was dial-up so I had 2 modems 2 phone lines 2 ISPs .Then I had to pay $10 a month to play it . Then I could play it was great I even went out and bought a MS Force feed back Wheel and pedals it was a blast .Then about 1 year later EA got me again they shut down the server .They did offer a copy of The Sims Online, Ultima Online, or Earth & Beyond ,but I wasn't interested in any of those .Rock Band I bought Guitar Hero World Tour .Dead Space Doom in 3rd person on a space ship .Left 4 Dead Quake on steroids .Red Alert 3 RTS yawning I'd rather watch a movie ,mow the grass ,rake the leaves ,or pluck out my eyes and stick them back in the wrong sockets .
I like Space Games like WC ,Star Lancer ,Privateer ,Tacyon the Fringe ,Freelancer ,Darkstar One ,X-wing Tie Fighter .I also like driving games and have several Need for Speed games .Every one of them has problems .The last one I bought is Most Wanted .Thought EA finally got it right .Wrong when I got to the #2 ranked on the black list EA installed oil injectors in front of all four tires on my car .I can start the race and my car (any of the 10 I have) is sliding all over the place .If I exit the race my car suddenly handles normal again .
Privateer is still my favorite game ever with WC a close second then the rest of these types of games .I would loves to see something new in the WC Priv Universe .I will not be holding my breath though .EA can sit on their rears and not make games I like that is their choice to make ,but other companies are making games I like to play and I buy them .
