Hearts and Minds Offers a Nearly Trekless Star Trek
While Star Trek: The Next Generation: Hearts and Minds is a good overall story, calling it a Star Trek tale is a bit disingenuous. Even Picard, who graces the cover, is barely window dressing for the story.
Drifting Lands: A Clever RPG Disguised as a Shump
The core gameplay of Drifting Lands is addicting and highly satisfying, with surprisingly deep role-playing elements just below the surface of what at first appears to be a slick and dazzling shoot-em-up packed with heart-pounding action and explosions.
