urgo2 daily PC talk

PC game players everywhere. this week, we'll be premiering the demo of DarkStar One, a space sim in the vein of Privateer and FreeLancer.
I've seen a lot of very positive remarks from players who've apparently been very impressed by what's on offer here, both in terms of the visual style and also in terms of gameplay. But why take anyone else's word for it when you could be playing Prey for yourself right now? The game is out in a few more weeks and promises to be one of July's biggest new PC games. It's coming to the Xbox 360 as well, for that matter.
Want more science fiction shooters? For a slightly more down-to-earth take on the subject matter, check out our blow-out coverage of Battlefield 2142, the next game in the wildly popular multiplayer shooter series. In addition to reading our latest hands-on impression, we're pleased to offer a Q&A with the game's senior producer, which should give you plenty of insight into what to expect from BF2142 once it's ready for prime time. I wonder if this game has what it takes to be substantially better than Battlefield 2, which makes for a seriously tough act to follow.
In case you're in the market for a new game right now, we've got a full review of Titan Quest, a new action RPG from Iron Lore. While the game is unmistakably similar to the Diablo series, and carries with it a few of the design issues that maybe haven't aged as well as the formula has on the whole, Titan Quest can still be a fun, long-lasting game to help beat the heat this summer.
