StarDrive is a 4X - "explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate" - strategy game in which you must lead your people from a single world and a small fleet of primitive spaceships to galactic dominance. Strike out into space, establish colonies, conquer new worlds, make allies and decimate enemies in a game that gives you complete control, from individual ship design to diplomatic strategies or interstellar warfare. You may have thought you were alone in the galaxy - but you were wrong.
The Search for the Garden Lost Garden is the first episode in planned series of action/adventure games where British explorer Adam Venture and his team go looking for the real Garden of Eden from the biblical Book of Genesis. What that search ends up amounting to is wandering through a series of underground caverns and solving various head-scratching - and sometimes deadly - puzzles that were left behind to try to prevent humans from ever going back to Eden. As a first episode, The Search for the Lost Garden sets the scene nicely for what's to come, but could have been stronger in its own right.
