Eve is a frequently overlooked game

User Rating: 8.3 | EVE Online PC
Eve online is one of those hidden gems. Most stores don't even carry it. It has been overly critisized too. I admit that it has mediocre game play, most begining missions consist of carrying garbage for small amounts of money, but it is fun once you get used to it. The skill system is completely unique in that you don't have to use the skill to improve it, you just have to click the train in it and wait a while which is great for casual gamers who won't be on every day. The graphics are amazing, especially for an mmpog. The background story is also interesting and the fictitious news in the game is actually pretty interesting. Last of all is the social part of the game. You have a friends and ignore list as in all games. You have corporations instead of guilds, but corporations allow you to advertise at stations. The people are some the best i've known online. Players give eachother money, work together, and spend hours just joking around. Helping new players is not a chore in this game because there is no level system. The chatting is the best part because it is in a window with tabs, it shows who is on the channell, and you can easily carry on 3 different conversations at once while your taking on a group of pirates. Games like world of warcraft should take note of the chat roomish quality of this game. It would vastly improve them. Overall eve is one of the best mmpogs out there.
