Oh, lord, get Corporation, if only to help me gain experience in the game...
No, actually, I bought Corporation a week ago, and it's easily the BEST game
I've ever played.. Even better that The Killing Game Show (which is still an
excellent game, just in a different genre), in fact.

Seriously, though, the gameplay in Corporation is excellent, as are the
graphics (_fast_ first-person, smooth-scrolling inside-a-building-view),
controls (altho I must admit that it takes a few minutes to get used to the
walkaround controller, it is easily the most intuitive method for controlling
a player in a game that I've ever seen), sounds, etc...

I don't know what Captive is like, unfortunately, but (now, you've gotta look
me right in the eyes here) Corporation is INCREDIBLE.  Unless you get a more
emphatic response for Captive, go the Corporation way.  I'm speechless.

Btw, if you DO get Corporation, let me know.  I'm more than willing to share
hints for the game...

Heh.  DM pales in the light of Corporation.  Think: DM raised to the fifth
power.  That good.  And, yes, I liked DM a lot also.  Think about it.
