Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ)

Game review

If you've ever played (and loved) one of those top-down space shooter flash games, you'll love SPAZ. It has all the bells and whistles you could want:
-Excellent modern visuals
-Runs on older computers
-Well balanced economy and RPG elements
-Dozens of unique ships, weapons and ship components - customize your ship(s) to your liking
-Find new weapons and ship components by exploring, destroying, or trading
-Weapons, components and ships have upgrades and research
-Tight, responsive feel for any ship you directly control
-Build up a fleet (if you want), and control any ship in your fleet
-Give orders to you fleet's AI using an intuitive interface, from fleetwide orders to single ship tactics
-Procedural galaxy generation for infinate variety from one game to the next
-Visit any solar system and any intresting objects in those solar systems, including ship graveyards, space stations, toxic spills, and warring planets
-Missions, story, and events occur dynamically
-Multiple factions, some of which you can influence to become your allies or enemies
-Zombie faction that dynamically spreads throughout the galaxy and has multiple tiers of "infestation"

The developers state: "We have tried to make the top down space shooter experience as rich as possible and then merge it with a rich and living galaxy that you can play a major role in shaping."
...and I'd say they have succeeded. I would feel ashamed if I were to rate SPAZ anything less than 10/10
