If you like the space shooter genre and you like them to have an interesting story line, then also take a look at Freespace and Freespace 2. For me, those two are the pinnacle of the space-shooter genre, even more so as Freespace 2 was open sourced and attracted a very large community of not just programmers but also artists which resulted in a game that's still being active developped with quite current graphics and sound. You can get the game on gog.com and use the Java-based[1] installer to get the open source engine and assets installed [1]: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/FreeSpace_Open_Installer http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/FreeSpace_Open_Inst...
