Bring It Back: FreeSpace

The Game

The Freespace series was developed by Volition, Inc. You may have heard of Volition before (or maybe not) due to the success of several of their games, including both the Red Faction series (which hasn’t been doing so well lately) and the Saints Row series (which attained good sales with the release of Saints Row: The Third). Volition’s admirable pedigree began with Descent: Freespace – The Great War. And let me tell you, it was great, both in gameplay and scope.
