Evil ded seyz: 'Farewell to arms!'
Space combat genre has been a dying breed until recently. Privateer made it seem like it was at its apex, and that it would not get any better. Privateer II sort of proved that point, but than we were served with a superior title such as Freespace 2. Things have been slow moving lately, but... Read full review »
Tachyon Misses the Fringe, but still flies true
Tachyon The Fringe is the latest space combat sim from Novalogic(Delta Force, F22 Lightning). While not the most advanced game in the world, Tachyon is a competent addition to the genre that sprouted Wing Commander and Freespace.
You start the game as Jake Logan (voiced by cult film...

Novalogic's space sim ain't dim
Novalogic has produced a tightly scripted game where the evolving narrative takes precedence over open-ended, free shooting and trading gameplay. It is a remarkably playable and enjoyable space sim that compares well with contemporaries such as FreeSpace and StarLancer. Just don't expect to be... Read full review »
What a mistake
This game looked great off the shelf. From the box cover and write-up, it seemed a lot like "Escape Velocity" for the mac, but in a 3d interface. So, I went ahead and bought it.
My first impressions were great- for about 25 seconds. I liked the main character and his voiceovers, as some...

Just another day in the fringe
It's the future and you are mercenary pilot Jake Logan, doing odd jobs for the mega-corporations. Does the theme sound familiar. Well, there are no surprises here. Naturally, in the future the mega-corporations rule space with an iron fist. They have enough money to keep the government in line, and... Read full review »
Not quite Freespace 2, but Better Than Privateer 2.
Tachyon: The Fringe is a space flight shooter (it'd be wrong to call it a sim, seeing as how we actually really have NO idea how all this stuff would perfom in space.) that borrows heavily from the Privateer games. You've got a fighter, and you can soup it up with various gadgets and gizmos. You... Read full review »
Bring on the multiplay!
This game offers a lot of great features, although some aren't really implemented correctly.
First off, the solo game has an engaging storyline and offers a number of paths for you to choose with varied missions that you can accept. The option to purchase ships and outfit them as you'd...

Tachyon: Faster than light or a setback?
I seem to be writing reviews on games a lot nowadays, and one of them happens to be Tachyon: the Fringe. The creators of Delta Force who revolutionized on-line gameplay in FPS games bring to us the universe hundreds of years in the future. You star as a star pilot known as Logan, and in solo mode...

Kill me.. Please.
Sometimes a game company puts together a real prize. Sometimes a game company puts out a pre-beta of a real prize. You can probably guess that Tachyon: The Fringe falls in the latter category.
You play Jake Logan, an independent pilot (Read: Mercenary) who does odd jobs for different...

The Control Setup is Horrible
I've tried the demo, as well as borrowed a copy of the full game, and guess what? The controls configs absolutely reek, while absolutely no online review I've seen bothers to mention that.
Tachyon allows joystick, mouse and keyboard, and from the setup screen you'd think you could have any...
