Really Big Sky – A Shooter Made with Love and Lasers

Dinosaurs with lasers in their mouths!

Holy crap, dinosaurs with freaking laser beams!

A day or two after this site was launched, I noticed a game on sale at Impulse called Really Big Sky.

With that said, after a lot of thought, I’ve come up with a list of — what I think are — the best and worst fighters in space gaming. Again, this is based on my memory and opinion. ;)
