I’d realized something. I’ve never been a huge fantasy fan. I like fantasy, but it doesn’t hold the appeal to me that science fiction does. The trouble was, the sci-fi games I was playing I just wasn’t getting into – especially the MMOs. I started reading our MOG blogs here at GamersInfo.net, and while I was at E3 I stopped by the CCP booth to check out EVE Online. When I got home, I tried out the fourteen day trial – and in no time, I was hooked.

EVE Online is a slow, methodical, beautiful game. It takes an enormous universe, a kaleidoscope of stars and space stations, and couples it with an open ended game featuring everything from in-depth economic tools to the battle between lawlessness and order.
