The Babylon Project Was Our Last, Best Hope for Peace. It Failed.

Not being a Christian, in my world the Holy Trinity looks something like this,

1. The Prisoner

2. Buffy: The Vampire Slayer

3. Bablyon 5, the Third Season

I spent about a month and a half watching the 3rd season of B5 over and over on DVD. It got so bad at one point that I was simply sitting and forcing my DVD player to loop those first two lines of the opening credits of Season 3 over and over. Today all I have to do is a start in with the first few words to guarantee a withering look from my wife.

Anyway, something those three series have in common is there aren’t any good videogames for them (yes, I played the B:TVS console games, and no I wasn’t impressed).

But some serious B5 fanboys have put together a freeware B5 game, Babylon 5: I’ve Found Her, that absolutely rocks. This is a space combat simulator that does an excellent job of capturing the look and feel of B5-style space combat (which, like the recent incarnation of Battlestar Galactica, actually pretended to use real physics instead of going all “Top Gun” in space).
