The Wing Commander franchise was one of the largest PC gaming series of the 1990s. Gamers need to be careful, though, as sometimes a mixture of conflicts and virtual crime can end up costing players thousands of dollars in real world money. However, it's the phenomenal - and somewhat bizarre for outside viewers - huge space battles that are often the biggest pull of the game. What's more, EVE Online offers up a great level of customization, even for character creation elements that are barely ever seen. EVE Online has proved to be a deeply immersive game for many, and is no doubt going to go down as an iconic space exploration experience. Still running strong since its release in 2003, the title gives users a huge amount of choice in how to play the game, be it in the form of legitimate in-game careers as traders or miners, or taking a more 'unconventional' route as a space pirate. The popular massively multiplayer online game has been giving would-be space captains some of the largest scope in gaming for years. PC gamers are unlikely to need any introduction to EVE Online.
