Those moments when, just for an instant, you're suddenly hopelessly lost in the totality of the gaming experience. Once the single-player game is completed, there's plenty of life in the skirmish games, but most of all, Homeworld has a thriving mod community, and if we haven't convinced you to invest in this classic game yet, be aware that somewhere out there are mods for Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Star Wars. While the Cataclysm sequel refined the interface and buffed up the graphics, Homeworld has managed to retain its beauty. The excellent tutorial gently guides you through the interface and perfectly sets the pace for what's to come which soon unfolds into an epic struggle through space, as you research new ships and send them to crush the enemy. Of course it all takes some getting used to, about 30 minutes should do. Homeworld was and still is superb, and to ask a fiver for it is as big a bargain as you will ever find. There are still a great many developers who remain unconvinced that a fully 3D, real-time strategy game can be user-friendly and yet evidence to the contrary has been under their very noses for years. Along With Total Annihilation, Homeworld will go down as one of the most underrated strategy games of all time.
