Actaully what maybe the easiest route to go is a NWN 2 mod. the more creative member of our community could make the content and then people can make thier own Firefly/Serenity games in any style imaginable.
Want a shoot-'em Reaver attack? fine.
What about a story driven exploration? super.
Play as the crew? rock-on
Play as your own characters? that works too.
Perhaps the most interesting, in theory you could create a MMORPG which in my humble opinion would rock verily.

I'm not too fond of MMORPGs, sorry. No atmosphere whatsoever, and Firefly is about interaction and intimate moments and relations.
I'm gonna post my idea for a Firefly game soon, complete with a story overview. It got kinda long, so I'm gonna have to finish it later. Once I get going, well...
The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!
September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

There are several games coming out that could be merged to make the Ultimat FireFly game. The first comes out in 3 days. It is called Mass Effect, and is made by BioWare (the guys who made the first KOTOR game. It employs RPG elements with specialized, squad based shooting action. The Only reason it isn't Titled "FireFly:the RPG" is because you take the position of a spectre (same thing as the operative) who works for a group called the Alliance. The other one is coming out in a while, it is called Borderlands. Look it up. If either of these games were to be mereged with the flying Mechanics of Freelancer and the Fighting system for the Warriors (the only game to ever accuratly depict a huge bar fight) you'd have the Best Damn Game Ever

iv said this before, but how about a firefly game like oblivion or mass effect, were you make a character and have a main quest as well as many side missions to complete
so you make a cpatain
choose your abilities (gun slinger, mechanics, charm etc)
find a crew and buy a ship
and go do the jobs
make it full of choices and adventure
here's a good example vid from mass effect (just get rid of the aliens and dirty it up a bit and it like firefly)

There is only ONE project that has survived the years and that is the referenced EVNova project above:
http://s4.invisionfree.com/GunRunner/index.php?act=idx
Though I'm not sure of its current status.
Aside from that, all fan projects have failed. This is largely due to the common initial excitement dilemma. Basically, people get excited about a project straight off, but things slow down drastically quickly, then the project dies in short order.
And that's IF the project gets started. There's a significant "doing it" problem in the community. Basically, the story goes, someone has the idea that FF/S would make a great game, and posts that it should be done. Then people talk about what a great game it would be and what they think it should look like. Then NO-ONE DOES ANYTHING!
Everyone just sits around waiting for someone to do something about it. Which of course will never happen because everyone is looking to someone else to do something.
And here's the kicker. Because of the first problem listed above, the only thing that any project gets is opinions, if that. I say if that because there has been so much discussion on this, and so many projects announced which NOTHING has come of, that people pretty much ignore such suggestions/announcements now. Well, except perhaps new people.
From experience, I know that it's really really hard to keep a project going, by one-self, with no energy to feed off of from the community. Hell, even a "keep it up" on status reports would help! But, not even that.
If you doubt me, just look at how much trouble recent projects have had to even get people to send emails. Modding requires a fair bit more than that, and making a game from scratch FAR more than that!
I'm not trying to piss on your parade here. But, that is the reality of the situation. So, if you want a game to come about, there's something that has to be done: you do it. You'll have to start the project and get a good chunk done before anyone will take notice.

How's about we settle for someone making a nice 3d model of the ship that you can walk through?

Can't believe nobody's mentioned this yet...

Fox licensed Firefly to be an MMORPG. There hasn't been much news other than rumors for going on a year, but it's still theoretically in the works.
I actually had a dream the other night that I was at the picket lines asking Joss why there was no Serenity video game. He wouldn't answer me. Then my 3 year old woke me up.
Also, I plan on using QMX's blueprints to make a UT2004 map of Serenity. Not really a Serenity video game, but it's a start.

Also, there's a wonderful add-on for the FREE spaceflight simulator Orbiter < http://www.orbitersim.com> that's achieved legendary status within that community...
