If you get X3: The Threat, be sure you patch it up. I bought it as soon as it was released (UK DVD version, not the damn US/Canadian 6 CD release...) and although I didn't have any problems with it, some people were having CTD's all the time and other assorted problems. However, with the current patches applied, it runs great for me and most other people, but make sure you have a system that can run it! It's a bit of a resource hog

X3: Reunion I too have it. Had a couple of minor issues but were my PC's "fault" not the game. It IS a resource hog. Decent game but it does take a while (days, weeks....) to meet whatever goals you set. I am in a non-plot setup and am slowly establishing a trade empire.

Any of the Combat Mission games are a good bet.
