Well William it depends upon the author  just as with general fiction.

What I've found thus far is that the choiceof games I've tried like choiceof 
the star captain, ie, the games written by choiceofgames own staff are 
pretty good, though perhaps not as  awsome as zombie exodus, while the 
hosted games (ie the games written with the choice script game creation 
language), vary hugely, some of them being extremely good (like zombie 
exodus), but some of them being pretty dire.


Of course I've not tried all the games so can't say for certain, though at 
least the price is so low it encourages you to take a chance.


All the best,

Dark.

Hi,
Oh I think you will really like tin star, not to give too much away but you can 
certainly die there and it is VERY interactive and long.
You might also really like apex patrol (as mentioned before) and sabres of 
infinity (also has a character setup that influences the rest of the game to 
some degree).
Greetings, Anouk,
