Crashes to desktop almost every time on teleport.
No response from Blizzard, no patch. User provided tips and solutions don't work for everyone, they didn't for me.
Avoid if you have an NVIDIA card.

Excellent multivariate optimization simulator.
You either just start plonking connections and have fun until your planets get totally dissatisfied with you or get analysis paralysis after the first few scans making sure you create the perfect self-sustaining loops everywhere.

Great replayability thanks to initial conditions choice (random or manual).

This is one of those games where you go "just one more turn" and find out it's 5am the next morning.

1. Fly

Fun at each step

Not really the atmosphere I personally like, but the game is great. Music, climate, monsters - all the components playing well together.

Great computer implementation of a board game.

One of the best MMOs. Obviously not as complex as Eve Online or as popular as WoW but it holds its weight well, with constant updates, events and new content.
