Shortly after Descent 2 was finished, the developer, Parallax Software, split into two different developers. The first was Outrage Entertainment, who produced Descent 3. The other is Volition. While Outrage has since gone defunct, Volition is still going strong, thanks in part to the success of the Saint's Row and Red Faction franchises. These are not the games that put them on the map, however. Freespace is the game that cemented Volition as a rising star in the game development community, and thanks to GoG.com, newer players can enjoy this space simulation classic. It's easily on par with other esteemed franchises like Wing Commander and TIE Fighter, and it has aged considerably better than its colleagues.
