I havent played a space sim in ages. There are 3 I have never played
1. Darkstar One
2. Freelancer
3. X2/X3 series
I have played just about everything else. All the X-Wing Series, All the Wing Commanders, Starlancer, FreeSpace 1+2, etc.
price is about the same for all 3, which do you chose?

Darkstar One is cool, if a bit dated.
X3: Reunion has a veeeeery steep learning curve, and plays very slowly. It can take weeks, sometimes months to start gaining enough reputation to buy bigger ships, and it takes a lot of patience as the beginning of the game goes very very slow while you make money and build your name up.
Graphics wise, X3 blows them both out of the water if you have a system that can handle it on full.
Freelancer is a classic but the trading aspect of both it and Darkstar are also nowhere near as complex and fleshed out as X3.
