Starcom: Nexus

Space exploration and shooter game that is rather addictive. You are thrown into a distant galaxy, and have to build your ship up by finding raw materials and new technologies. You do this by finding aliens, befriending aliens, shooting aliens and scanning many, many planets. The flying is... fine. The shooting is fun. The scanning of planets will often trigger a "choose your own adventure" type of selection process that is very interesting. There are a variety of quests, which generally require some sort of deduction or lateral thinking to solve - you're not given quest markers for many of the things you are trying to solve. It's a focussed experience, and mostly you can play on the controller although it forces you to use the mouse and the keyboard some times - mainly for menu work. All told, though, quite addictive and a fun experience.
