Starfeld: Not Starfield
Beautiful, gripping and powerful. These are all words you wouldn’t associate with Stephen ‘increpare’ Lavelle’s Starfeld, a strange, miniaturised space oddity. I played this a few weeks ago and had a good giggle but after all the talk of RPGs, freedom and linearity here recently it seems only fitting that I throw this one out there now. You Mass Effect players may appreciate the satire here more than I did. I just appreciated the line “I am a fully accredited yoga guru”.
About geggis:
Gregg B (or geggis as Wordpress insists on calling him) wishes he had more time to be recreational, but after finally getting a house fears that it will require maintenance until his dying day. He is currently playing: Demon's Souls, Solium Infernum, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Alien Breed: Impact and Alien Swarm when possible.

Seriously, did anyone pass that part? I must have tried it 25 times before I said whatever humour lies ahead is not worth this torment.
Up until then it was a spot-on riffing of Mass Effect 2
Hehe, you chose the ‘evil’ options didn’t you? It’s really hard that way, I managed it after god knows how many attempts. Try sticking to the top or bottom of the screen so there’s less dodging involved and try destroying any asteroids in your path using every shot you fire, even if you have to move your ship right over to the right!
