Eve Online - the Second Genesis (PC)

Eve Online is known as a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), there are many out there but Eve certainly stands out as one of the vastest online worlds around. The Eve universe consists of thousands of different systems, each with their own attributes and items of interest, whether it?s a remote asteroid belt or an abandoned mining colony. They are designed through a security rating program, systems rated as 1.0 are known as ?Empire Space?, where you have no threat of being attacked by NPC (Computer controlled ships) and very little threat from other players.

The MMORPG is a genre that, for want of a better word, is absolutely flooded with titles, few of which are actually any good. For every World of Warcraft, there are a dozen shameless cash-ins, but Eve Online is one of the rare ones that's both original and extremely well executed.

Eve online is an MMO game, which stands for "massively multiplayer online". You play in a huge area of space that is also used by other human players. An internet connection is required. When I saw an advert for a cool-looking space game with a "14 day free trial" I thought I would have a go. I didn't really know anything about it at the time, except that it looked really pretty. The visuals looked stunning on the screenshots. Downloading and installing the game was straight forward and pain free, except that the installer didn't create a shortcut on the desktop or in the start menu. I had to dig into the program files and make ...  Read the complete review

Where do I start with this review, because this game is MASSIVE! Well, lets start at the beginning. EVE is a Sci-fi based MMORPG (Massively Muliplayer Online Role Playing Game) that is set in a new region of space that man colonised thousands of years ago, after finding a natural wormhole from their own region of space. Unfortunately, after a few decades the wormhole closed, stranding those that had already crossed into the new region of space and forcing them to find their own way of life. After thousands of years, the original pioneers have diversified into four distinct races; Amarr – An Imperial race that cover almost 40% of the known ...  Read the complete review
