feels like a promising first draft of a fantastic Trek simulator, but it only goes boldly for a few hours. After the novelty of finally sitting on a beautiful Federation starship bridge wears off and you've exhausted the handful of mission types, all that's left is the goofy physical comedy of...

Long time members of Family Friendly Gaming know I despise online games. I constantly push for offline game play modes. I have had bad experience after bad experience playing games online. I have experienced hate speech against Christians, profanity, sexism, racism, and more.
