Where no game has gone before or since then

So, Wednesday was my brother in law's birthday, and I was at a loss for what to get him as I was near broke and couldn't get him the gift I initially wanted to get him. Thankfully, Good Old Games came to the rescue and are now offering some of the best trek games on it's platform now. I got him Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force 1 &2, along with Bridge Commander. Definitely some the best officially made games that Trek has to offer.

Trek kind of has a history of making less than stellar games, be it from mediocre gameplay or very behind the curve tech.  It's sad that nobody else making trek games seems to get the fact that people (especially fans) just want to feel like they are in the Star trek universe or in the show.  Despite being an otherwise standard shooter, the Elite force games capture that extremely well, along with the aforementioned Bridge Commander (taking notes, freaking star trek online, you hacks?).  Even the gosh dang menus in the game made you feel like you were using an LCARS system. 

But,  it seems we may never get another good trek game ever again, because since I last talked about it, Star Trek has been shot into the crapper and is not even a shadow of it's former self.  CBS is insistent on pushing it's newer garbage shows on people, even though the numbers prove nobody likes it. Good job, CBS, you morons. Because insulting the legacy of the show, your built-in fanbase, and anyone with common sense was a good choice. As well as having your heads so far up your own assess, you can use your stomach as a helmet. Freaking dipwads.  I think this was the only article by a major outlet that I saw who actually spoke the truth; the rest being willing shills for CBS.  

What all trek fans wish they could do to all the bastards responsible for Discovery, Picard, and Lower Drecks.

It's so bad, that I heard at one point a writer (or producer) for the current show (Discockery) was laughed out of a bar popular with writers in Los Angeles, everyone mocking their incompetence. (I can only hope this happens at every business they try to go to).  Unfortunately, that's the only good thing to come out of this mess so far, and it may be the last, as they are doing so much damage as to kill Star Trek forever. 

Thankfully, there is still the older, actually good trek still out there, and we can only hope trek might be saved by not only cancelling the current literal shit-shows and by promoting/replaying all the good stuff (along with possibly making a show people actually WANT to see).  In the meantime, we still have these awesome games as well, which I can't wait to enjoy playing some coop with my brother.
