New England Gamer takes some time to look back on one of the about greatest franchises of gaming: Wing Commander. A landmark series in its time, it's now almost a non-presence in the modern day industry.

In a year fraught with excellent game releases, I suppose it’s a bit odd that one my most exciting moments of 2010 was when Wing Commander IV was released onto the PlayStation Network. Back in the day, I used to obsess over the game’s trailer, but lacking a proper computer to run it in its heyday I never got to play and honestly never thought I would. Actually being able to play it, even in its inferior PS1 version, was a moment of unadulterated gaming joy. A feeling I tend to get whenever I revisit the Wing Commander games.
