Eve Online totally rapes Freelancer for depth and that "elite" feel.

Only problem is it's a MMORPG (costs $11.99 a month or something - doesn't bother me but I'll bet it bothers 95% of the members here biggrin: ) and it's not an arcade shooter like Freelancer, nor is it a space simulator. It's more like point and click (RTS style) but with awesome graphics, amazing depth and a great deal to do (as opposed to Freelancer, where you can only do so much before you're done).

Freelancer was fun for a demo but once I realised that, essentially, the demo is all that the actual game has to offer anyway, I didn't bother buying it.

If you're looking for a brief blast then get Freelancer. If you're looking for an all-out involving, ultra depth space trader game with combat, trading, mining and the like, then get EVE and give it a month free trial.

I'm so hooked I bought two EVEs and play two accounts at once on my PC biggrin:
