Hey guys, just thought I'd see if there were any others out there who enjoy playing a few of the oldies but goodies as far as Star Trek is concerned

I've been playing Judgement Rites alot recently; the CD enhanced version, which features all of the Original Series cast's voices speaking the dialogue. I actually kind of feel sorry for Leonard Nimoy in this, and I'll explain why.

In the game, you usually have a few key items in your inventory. Your phaser, the science and medical tricorders, and your communicator. Now, the science tricorder can be used to scan pretty much anything you see, and about 90% of the time, Mr Spock has something interesting to say about it.

That's why I feel sorry for Nimoy, as he had to record thousands of lines of dialogue, just incase someone fancied scanning a lightbulb or the floor. McCoy's medical tricorder isnt quite the same, but he usually has some kind of cynical comment about the situation.

The thing I like most about this game is the fact that unlike most Star Trek games post 1990, it doesnt rely on action and combat. There's even an option to turn off space combat completely, and the only thing you really have to worry about from there is phasering a few people on the away missions. Its nice to have a decent point-and-click adventure game for once, instead of the laser-fests of Elite Force or Legacy.

Anyway, that's my short review of Star Trek: Judgment Rites - Even if you're not into the franchise, I really do recommend you give it a go. You may be pleasantly suprised

I'll add some more reviews later, if anyone is interested
