Alrightey, first things first... I am not one to play space games or anything like this, and when my friend first played this game and told me about it, I was totally disinterested. One day I got a little bored and decided to install it and play it. Now I am totally addicted! I don't want to get into the plot, because you'll have to see for yourself... But you get to build custom ships with custom weaponry whilst hunting the galaxy for minerals (used for building and research of weapons) and taking out bosses of each area. I have been playing the game for about 6 hours (game time) [probably about 11 real time, from messing up and having to go back to saves and whatnot] but this game is a real thriller. The thing that makes this game awesome though, is if you have a gamepad for your computer. I recently bought a really cheap gamepad for like 10$ CAD and it's great for starscape. Anyway, I'll quit blabbering on and get to the point... Starscape can be downloaded from their creator's homepage at Moonpod.com and it is a time restricted trial... But if you like the game, BUY IT! This is the company's first game, and they laid all their savings on the line to make this game. They deserve your support. However, if you are in a tight financial bind, and I mean like, you have no cash to play this game, even though you are totally addicted, PM me, I could help you. -Enjoy
