The demo for Beyond the Red Line was released a few day ago, and I have to say, it's awesome! For those that don't know, Beyond the Red Line is a Battlestar Galactica mod for the revamped Freespace 2 engine. I've been following it for about a year now, and was actually planning on helping out with the voice acting. Unfortunately, school became too hectic and I had to withdraw from it before even really getting started.
If you're looking at something that faithfully recreates the space battle scenes from BSG, this is what you'll want to play. The combat is very high speed, the music is great and true to the series and you have the ability to pull off some of those great space moves via a feature they call "glide mode". Basically it allows you to continue in the direction of your momentum, while spinning around to fire at enemies behind you or anywhere else for that matter.
The demo features a tutorial and a few missions, one of which is very Scar-like. Fans of the series, will know what I'm talking about. ;)
