"The big release season is in full swing, and those of you with deep wallets are busy playing the huge number of quality games on offer.
But what about those who can only afford maybe one or two new releases, or maybe none at all yet? There’s a global economic slowdown on after all.
Well at OXCGN we’ve decided to put ourselves a second time in the game Animus and go back in time to discover what titles we enjoyed this gen that you should be able to get for cheap (and still play the multip..."
"EVE Online is famous for its stories of theft, underhanded dealings, criminal empires and general unscrupulous play. For EVE players this is generally an accepted part of the game and part of the risk players run. The type of scheme might be old, but the profits were big in the latest EVE Online scam that has broken records and is now being called the biggest scam in the game's history."
"People by themselves are generally good-natured, well-mannered, and easy to handle, but for some reason when one becomes many, things get a bit out of hand. That is exactly what the Icelandic developer of EVE Online, CCP, is experiencing at the moment. After a few less than positive appearances in the mainstream media, community aggression is causing some of the staff to buckle under the pressure."
"EVE online, the popular sci-fi MMO, is getting a new expansion today. EVE Online: Incarna 1.0 will add 3D avatars to the game, help beginner players with a new tutorial system, and speed up the game itself with new CarbonIO technology."

There's a tiny bit of important gaming news. Later, we answer some user emails pertaining to the upcoming cyberpunk zombie dinosaur game revolut..."
"Although one and a half members are missing for this cast, it still goes pretty well while we talk about Little Big Planet 2, Enslaved, Vanquish, Gran Turismo 5, Mafia 2, Resonance of Fate, Gal Gun, and Eve Online.
As always we cover the week in gaming news, then chat about movies including The Fighter, Tron, and Harry Potter and the Long Movie Title Part One."
GameZone's Michael Lafferty weighs the good and bad of playing an MMO solo and with friends. Is the massively-multiplayer online genre going the way of solo affairs?
What does EVE Online's new expansion, Tyrannis, mean for the future of CCP games? And how does it tie into their upcoming MMO, DUST 514. Bronte at Explicit | Gamer takes a look!
CCP Games just released a free expansion to their sci-fi MMORPG EVE Online. There is a huge update for the game and includes a whole lot of new features such as a google chrome mini game and in-game MP3 player.
EVE Online is a game that gets talked bad about for several issues, and its marketing doesn't do the best job of portraying what it really is. However, if you give it a try, you'll find a game that is actually quite interesting.
The next chapter in the EVE Universe will be released in March and is to be called Apocrypha. Amongst numerous other enhancements will be the addition of so-called 'epic' missions that will be delivered by agents as well as new areas to explore and technology to acquire. EVE Online is a space-based MMORPG developed by CCP (based in Iceland). It is well-known for its high learning curve and open economic model.
""The generosity of The Camarilla continues to amaze us. It's entirely to their credit that this donation was made possible, said Val Massey, Senior Director of Public Relations and Communication, CCP. Get-Well Gamers is such a worthy cause and we are in awe of their tireless efforts to bring some much-needed fun to young people who need it most. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to act as a conduit to connect these two incredible groups."
Given the recent economic climate, especia..."

This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee tries the MMORPG Eve Online.
His complaints include the pointless character creation, slow transport, pointless ways of gathering experience, and how it is just downright bland.
Enjoy.
"Official Release:
CCP, one of the world's leading independent game developers, has announced the formation of the Council of Stellar Management (CSM), the first democratically-elected governing body in a virtual world. Its inception marks a decisive leap in the evolution in online worlds, especially in terms of how a publisher interacts with its community. For EVE Online, the council encompasses the next logical step in the complex social and economic systems for which EVE is well known...

EVE Online is an amazing example of art imitating life. The player-run economy is, perhaps, one of the worlds last true free-market systems. EVE Online itself is a space-based MMO where thousands of players co-exist on one server. The newsletter chronicles the current state of the economy's affairs, including total players/ship/item counts, cash-flow, and even a 'primary producer index'.
"I envision this council being made up of nine members selected by the players themselves, where you announce your candidacy, and if you win the election, they come here to Iceland, and they can look at every nook and cranny and get to see that we are here to run this company on a professional basis, said Mr. Petursson, CCPs chief executive. They can see that we did not make this game to win it."
