I am still reminiscing about EVE Online. I have never felt such a pull, and such a revulsion, for a game. Gamespot has a review of the game that, for once, strikes a strong vibe with me. EVE is heavily PVP, so like one reviewer said, if you are not in it for PVP, don't waste your time.
I have been looking for something that is non-PVP EVE. Or at least, something that has a rich, rewarding PVE side to it. I tried out the demos for X3 and the Tarr Chronicles, Starlancer and Freelancer; all of which are quite interesting and even kinda fun, but I am not exactly interested in the first-person experience. Especially with no joystick. I want something like Homeworld, but something current. I briefly looked at Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, but the graphics are horrid, and the game is a bit old. And slow. There are a slew of other games recommended by Amazon, but they are all older. I browsed stargamer.net, which looked like my kind of place, but that is even old. What's up with that!! I briefly read about the Battlestar Gallatica and Star Trek games, but I have never been impressed with the games-from-movies projects (including Star Wars). Maybe I need to give them another chance. Maybe.
Is this genre dying out?!?
At least the bevy of fantasy RPGs are seemingly unending. I won't have to worry about spell-casting, sword-weilding games running out any time soon.
