If that sounds like the team you want to play for, Cryptic has a great deal for you, with a bit of a catch. They’re the baddest of the bad, the leather-and-latex S&M kings of the galaxy who kicked the crap out of Starfleet at Wolf 359 and turned the redoubtable Captain Picard into a sniveling sissy. And with the Borg being part of the story in Picard, the latest Star Trek TV series, this is the perfect time to learn more about the history of the Federation's war against them.Cryptic is offering a Star Trek Online deal that’s futile to resist: Sign up for a lifetime subscription and you’ll get to play as a Borg. Finding a copy and getting it running on a modern PC is hard work, but not beyond the means of anyone with a search engine and a powerful desire to experience a CD-ROM from the 1990s that doesn't totally suck. But if you love Star Trek, and you have a fondness for that omnipotent trickster, it's basically a must-play. Would Star Trek: Borg be half as good if Q, and by extension John de Lancie, wasn't in it? Eh, probably not. Some puzzles (if you can call them that) even require you to fail on purpose to find the solution, which taps nicely into the time travel concept.
This game is no different, but when you make a mistake you're rewarded with a pithy line from Q or a dramatic scene that shows you just how badly you screwed up-whether it's a Borg drone killing a crewmate or the entire ship being destroyed.
When you play games like this you're usually forced to tediously replay sections over and over again until you do exactly what the developers want. The reason I like this more than other FMV games is how it makes failure fun.
