1. Star Trek Online

While he doesn’t actually make a physical appearance in the game, the dulcet tones of Nimoy’s Vulcan voice welcome the player to each new section. Suitably, hundreds of the game’s denizens recently gathered in tribute to the actor’s passing.

2. Dying Light

Spock’s death in Star Trek II has him shot out in a photon torpedo coffin … only to land in the zombie-infested ocean of Harran? Probably not, but the new game's odd homage to Spock carries extra poignancy with its eerie timing.

3. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

In keeping with Spock’s views on violence, most puzzles in this adventure game for the NES eschew combat, focusing on more thoughtful solutions. For such an early title, it truly captures the spirit of the series.

4. Minecraft

Much like the Internet’s notorious rule 34, if you can imagine it, someone’s built it in Minecraft. But this to-scale fan replica of the USS Enterprise NCC 1071 looks like a true labor of love, and a wonderful send-off to Spock.

5. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

With a story even more convoluted than Spock’s alternate reality ret-conning in the recent films, Kingdom Hearts is still a great showcase for Nimoy’s voice talents as the villain Master Xehanort. Feel the darkness!

6. Star Trek: Judgment Rites

As a landmark PC game in the mid-nineties, Judgment Rites picks up right where the 25th anniversary adventure game left off. Never before have Spock’s chess playing skills proved so oddly invaluable.

7. Sid Meier’s Civilization IV

Nimoy’s voice is a natural fit for a game about improving technology and advancing the course of human progress. As the great Vulcan vociferates, “One man in his time plays many parts."

8. Seaman

One of the most bizarre games ever made also features Nimoy as a narrator, who coaches you through raising your very own creep-faced fish man, with which you communicate through a microphone. If you stare into its eyes, you’re guaranteed night terrors.

9. Star Trek Bridge Commander

This super absorbing Star Trek game creates a realistic simulation of a captain discharging orders and combatting an enemy fleet. A fantastic fan mod enlists Spock to serve by your side.

10. Iron Brigade

Double Fine gives Leonard Nimoy the double-fingered salute with their Tiki Mask upgrade. This third person mech-action title has little in common with Spock, making the reference most illogical, but still appreciated.

11. Star Trek: The Rebel Universe

A game that reaches for greatness, but falls short due to those damnable catastrophe pods! It’s still notable as one of the first games (in 1987) to feature Nimoy’s full likeness in glorious sprite art.

12. Atlantis: The Lost Empire

During the lost age of the 3D platformer, Atlantis stood comfortably among its peers. It even featured full cut scenes from the Disney film, including Nimoy’s perfect performance as the forlorn King Kashekim.

13. Star Trek Pinball

While The Next Generation claims the most famous pinball game, this earlier machine from Data East featured the original crew of the Enterprise with the sultry science officer front and center.

JD Schmidt writes: "There has always been a demand for puzzle games. Whether it's retro puzzlers like Tetris or Dr. Mario, or titles from the recent resurgence of easily accessible brain teasers like Angry Birds or Candy Crush, there is no shortage of options within the genre. Nintendo has once again resurrected the 1981 classic arcade game, Donkey Kong, and brought to life some of the most beloved video game characters of all time in a simple, easy to grasp puzzle game. But with so many competitors available right at our fingertips (and often for free) on our phones and tablets, is Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars a puzzler worth having around?"

"Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late is the newest fighting game by French-Bread, known for their work on the Melty Blood series. Originally released in September 2012 as Under Night In-Birth in Japanese arcades, the game was heavily criticised for its unbalanced roster of fighters and near endless combos. Luckily the game has since been supported with regular updates and patches, resulting in this new revision earning itself a new moniker. Question is: with so many fighting games available on the PlayStation 3 can this title stand toe-to-toe with the heavy hitters, or is it just turtling in a corner?" - GameSpew

Jae Lee writes: BB:CP, P4AU, GGXrd, AH3:LM, MBAA, DBFC, AP. If youre familiar with (anime) fighting games, you should be able to tell which games they are just by their abbreviations. Those are just a small sampling of the variety of fighting games on the market- each its own charm and unique identity. So when UNIEL was announced by the developers behind the cult classic, Melty Blood, I felt excited but also a bit concerned since I already had many fighters I wanted to improve in. After some time with UNIEL, I do believe Ill have to add this game to the laundry list of fighters I want to get to my usual state of better than average.
