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.

"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.
