Just out of curiosity.

The X games are some space simulator/trading games. Unfortunately the have a bit of high system requirements despite the written requirements(that is of course relevant at the time it has been released,they need more resources than normal).

The games are the following:

X: Beyond the Frontier

X: Tension

X²: The Threat

X³: Reunion

X³: Terran Conflict

X³: Albion Prelude

And X Rebirth is scheduled to release in 2012.

Probably everyone that cares about the genre/theme.

I played all of them except Albion Prelude and I'm looking forward to X Rebirth, but I never really got far into any of them 30-60 hours at most.

When you said X-games I thought you meant the extreme sport contests not actual pc games, but no I have never played those.

I love them, currently playing X3:TC. Moving on toAP, once I finish TC up. Tons of mods for both as well, makes it even more fun.

Hello! Sorry for reacting a bit late,but I will give a few information about them.

All those games are about trading,economy and a bit of combat.

The story is just a little thing added to the whole image.

I have played the most with the second game so I will tell you about that.

The game has an insanely lot of controls,almost every button means something,like in a simulator(no wonder,I saw this game listed on some places as Space Simulation,but I would rather call it a trading game)."Grinding" up your way is very tough as you start only with a scout ship which can't hold much cargo and can't even fight well,so you can't even do mercenary missions(go there,kill that).You have to rely only on trading at the beginning.If you don't know how the trading is done,check the game manual,it is written well there,it also contains many other useful information.

I hope I could help you,have patience playing with the game if you want to play it well!

I'm looking forward to the new one. Have X3 and TC, the only X titles I've played - though I had an eye on the series for a while. It's pretty fantastic, and the scope is outrageously grand - though I find the space combat and flight simulation to be a bit lousy. Guess I'm more of a an I-War 1/2 kind of person; if X3 was closer to I-War 2 in combat, Newtonian physics and ditching the instancing through warp gates I'd say it was getting near perfect. Oh and planetary entry. That'd be coo'.
