Scavenger
Scavenger is an action based shooter which has very well designed levels. I say it's a shooter (and it is) but it reminds me of a cross between Alien Breed, Thrust and Alien Abduction. This is not bad in anyway, infact the game is fantastic!
The general idea is to take your ship into the giant space hulk Icarus and get the key orbs to the sector exit. The game starts off easy enough and introduces you to the different elements/enemies at a managable rate. The game is also story driven which works well and never gets in the way of the action.
There are plenty of different game modes to play with. I started with the Easy mode which turned gravity off and gave me unlimited fuel. When playing like this the game reminded me of Alien Breed. However, play the game with gravity on and limited fuel and it's a whole new ball game. It's harder to get to grips with but in no time you'll master it.
