Star Trek will be available in stores 2012.

The Elite Forces games were enjoyable but that was largely down to Raven and Ritual.

Too early to judge but we have The Darkness II coming up to gauge any above average potential.

I'm definitely up for a good Star Trek game.

Bioshock 2 was an excellent handling of a pre-existing franchise , both similar enough to the original but different enough to be a sequel.
Dark Sector was Pretty enjoyable too, don't forget that Digital Extremes are part responsible for the original Unreal Tournament.

Looks like Digital Extremes have found themselves a good spot as a developer.
Could be Fun

DE did the multiplayer for Bioshock 2. They have been tainted by publishers not given them enough time and having products forced out early. Pariah being their biggest mess.

I've tried Dark Sector a few times but its turned me off both times early on. There have been enough people that have said it has it's merits but I have no interest to go back and see if it is anything above average.

It's impossible to make a Star Trek game that actually captures the spirit of the show since it's largely about collaboration/human spirit, etc, etc. Instead all Star Trek games so far have been 'shoot other ships from your ship' or 'shoot other people', repeat ad infinitum with some sort of backstory apparently going on.

To be contrary though I did enjoy the Armada games and Starfleet Command 3.
