Acclaimed game designer Chris Roberts (who helped define the space simulation genre with his Wing Commander and Privateer franchises) takes gamers to another universe with Star Citizen. The game brings the visceral action of piloting interstellar craft through combat and exploration to a new generation of gamers at a level of fidelity never before seen. It offers a complete universe where any number of adventures can take place, allowing players to decide their own game experience. Pick up jobs as a smuggler, pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, or enlisted pilot. A huge sandbox with a complex and deep lore allows players to explore or play in whatever capacity they wish. Immerse yourself high quality, cutting-edge visuals and technology, a virtual world that is massive and detailed, a sophisticated storyline that is wide in scope, and visceral space combat that will make your heart pound.
Chris Roberts and his Kickstarted game, Star Citizen, have become the darlings of the PC gaming world. Not only does Roberts make promises that, if realized, would ensure instant-classic status for Star Citizen, he also personally makes no bones about the dominance of PCs as a gaming platform.

Look, all I'm saying is that if Chris Roberts can get the $2 million raised to make Star Citizen in just a couple of weeks, we can totally raise enough money to send the GameSpy team to space. We'll even film it and use the footage for a game of our own, called, uh, Space...Denizen. Hey, I never said it was a good plan. Read More »
There's just something about videogames and Kickstarter. Two weeks ago, Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts asked gamers to help fund his new space odyssey, Star Citizen. The project's early momentum stalled, and it plateaued at $1.34 million on the official Star Citizen site. Over the weekend, Roberts also decided to sample the Kickstarter waters, and kick start it did. Star Citizen hit its $500,000 goal in no time, and with 26 days left, it appears Kickstarter will help ensure Star Citizen becomes a reality. Read More »
