Scotty, beam me out of this pig sty!
User Rating: 8.4 | Space Colony (2003) PC
A fun game, one that aspires to the wacky sense of humour and fun of Startopia, but doesn't quite get there. You might think that the relationship scheme in this game would get in the way of the fun, but it's handled in such a way that it's not completely necessary to cultivate friendships among the crewmates using the Sims-like method of interaction, but it does help having a close-knit crew that can at least stand to look at each other as they walk the halls of the colony. What's more important are the varied level missions, scads of items to purchase and place, and general humourous bent of the game. It's a fun, space-based RTS, and in this case that's good enough. In space, no one can hear you chuckle mildly.
