Hi guys,
I've just found this free downloadable game. It seems pretty good so far, and in my books beats atc-sim.com hands down.
It has a very limited choice of airports, which is a major problem, although EGLL is availible to download (also for free...), but the main perk of it, is voice recognition. Seems pretty cool

'ATC Chief', by mindjolt games is superb, and more intense than the real thing. You should be able to find it via Google.
Ended up in a challenge with an ex-ATC colleague on evening. Had to have a 30 minute break after 1 and !/2 hours.
Great fun.

HaHa,
Loving your work 'Tridents', but way back, some of us had Nimrods coming at us from all points of the compass. Some even had HUGE radomes !

Just for the record...until recently, some of us have had an opportunity to vector Nimrod in real life

VATSIM! It's a network where virtual pilots fly with Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3d or X-Plane. ATC are real persons and it's all online. Real procedures are followed and there are strict rules.
Just google it to find out more yourself. I had some fun there as virtual pilot.

I like BigFatSimulations' games, some are more casual than others.
I highly recommend the Radar Chaos series, specially Hawaii Edition (the most realistic and fun to play, IMO).
If you are interested in how it looks like, I have some videos of me vectoring traffic around Hawaiian islands:

Shadowrun,
I did acknowledge the games you mentioned. Two I had already seen and my apologies, I didn't see the note about the 2011 release soon. Please let me know when it's out there.
In actuality, there are plenty of good games - all have there benefits... and drawbacks. What I stated was just my shock at some prices though, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Here's the list so far of what's available, in no particular order:
Aviation Games
London Control
Radar ChaosWelcome to the ATCsimulator®2 Website
Tower SimulatorATC-SIM: a web-based air traffic control simulator
APP Control – Air Traffic Control Game
I hope I didn't miss any. Anyone have more to add?

Hi! There's a new one, still in alpha, made by Estonian ATCOs called Flight Level.
It can be found on Steam. Can't post links, not enough posts
Disclaimer: I'm one of the devs. A pilot mate suggested I should share here what we're up to.
It's a radar sim for APP and ACC, but as we devs are all ACC controllers, the APP part is a bit behind, but we are working on it
The pilots are automated and clearances are given by clicking in the aircraft label - we intend FL to be a entry point to radar ATC and think that having to learn the phraseology before being able to play would be detrimental.
