kebsis: Also, another one called Starship Titanic, written by Douglas Adams.
I so hope Starship Titanic comes to GOG. I've never played it, but I've read the novel a number of times. Hilarious.
As far as game recommendations go, let me point you towards two complete gems. Both are so different, so unique, and so great that you really shouldn't give them a miss.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
and
Sacrifice
Giants is a... Well, it's hard to describe. It starts as an objective-based third person shooter, moves into the realm of squad-based shooters (sort of), and moves further into base-building and more strategic gameplay. And it's friggin' hilarious! The game has a humor that is absolutely exceptional. Look at some YouTube videos of it.
Sacrifice is equally hard to place. I suppose you'd have to call it a Third Person RTS. It too has a quite phenomenal sense of humor, and some fantastic voice acting. Tim Curry as Stratos is magnificent. The game revolves around combat, utilizing a combination of summoned creatures and magic spells. As a mage for hire, you fight each battle for one of five gods, all with different spells and creatures. A whole game is 10 missions, but thanks to the interchangeability of the five gods, the game has a lot of replay value.
