Fans of Helloween and Gamma Ray know Guitarist/Original singer Kai Hanson's exploits all too well. Barely a German Power metal band can be mentioned without citing his prodigious influence. All his bands have his signature guitar style. Which is to say they are drenched in awesomesauce; Guitar-edition with a hint of cilantro, with the iWail and iShred set to maximum volume on an infinite loop. Which makes Iron Savior Hell-rocking World-Warring German Power Metal aka Eating brautwurst in a beerhall filled with beermaids while sitting on a live electric chair cranked to 11. Jawohl!

The force is strong with this one.

Let's be honest. Any real geek worth their scifi book collection would jump, potentially maim a few people, or burn down a church at the opportunity to fly a Tie Fighter from Star Wars. Among all flying things, they easily make the coolest noises; that RRrrrrreeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhh sound that kids work so hard to perfect. The fact that they're led by badass Darth Vader only adds to it. So, you can imagine the Star Wars geek level of freakout when LucasArts finally got around to making a space flight sim X-Wing where you fight Tie Fighters in vicious dogfights of pure epicness. Then, to up the ante, they soon after released Tie Fighter where you can finally fly a Tie Fighter and take out the stupid rebel scum and make them pay for blowing up your boss's Death Star, forcing you to have to now commute through space traffic to work. Payback's a bitch suckers!

Both games weave a great story arc through the Star Wars universe, tying together various story points of the movies that weren't explained fully. All that is great. But, after your mission briefing where you're supposed to go destroy some rebel transport ship, nothing is better than getting in, finding out you're a couple minute's flight from this ship, setting all power to thrusters, setting the transport as your waypoint, watching the distance meter count down rapidly with you on the edge of your seat, and then finally getting close enough that you can transfer power back to shields as ships race howling by in front of you with lasers blazing every which-way, and you pulling a tight turn as your target tries to slip you with you letting loose a infinite flurry of lasers at the bastard. It... Gets seriously addictive.

The movies don't do this aspect justice at all. These are the dogfights that all dogfights should be measured by. Dozens of ships on each side. Lasers of every color flying everywhere. All this with fantastic Star Wars tunes pumping in the background. PC Gamer voted it one of the best games ever for good reason. If you have even the least inkling of like of the Star Wars (original) trilogy or flight sims then you simply owe it to yourself to play these masterpieces of gaming.
