You start alone in your little vessel and are given the hints of a plot involving a great and powerful ancient McGuffin that various factions are trying to control. Set in the distant future where humanity has colonized the stars and now rubs elbows with various alien species, X3 puts you in the role of Julian Brenner, the hero of X2. Welcome to deep space and the open-ended universe of X3: Reunion. X3 also features a single-player storyline to deliver some structure for those of us with shorter attention spans, though this doesn't pan out anywhere near as well. X3: Reunion, the latest game in the series, delivers some stunning visuals and more of that wide-open-ended gameplay, which is great if you're a fan of the genre. Rather than running through a series of scripted missions, you can explore the void, buy and sell goods for a profit, and battle the occasional bad guy. X has become the spiritual heir to Elite, the old-school, deeply open-ended space games that let you go off and do your own thing for hours at a time. In other words, they're beautiful to look at, but they also unfold at a snail's pace.

The X games (and we're referring not to the extreme-sports event, but to Egosoft's space exploration/trading/empire-building simulations) have always been a bit like the famous sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
