Games for 2009... And BEYOND!
Got into EVE about a year ago. Don't play it much - I've never been a big MMO fan - but it's the only one that appeals.
Learning curve is brutal, people are a bunch of twats often enough, and space is made entirely of right-click context menus.
But get a good bunch of people together and you can have some real fun. The game had by far the most depth of any MMO out there. Ignore all that spreadsheet nonsense - I leave that to the saddos who play at mining and trading. It's all about running around in small groups (or 200+ fleet engagements if you fancy it) and making spaceships go boom.
Forget all that 'raid' nonsense in WoW, or anything else like that in MMOs - in EVE everything is emergent simply because almost the whole game world is made up of the actions of other players - you just can't approach EVE in the same way - the kind constant adaptation, planning, re-planning, reacting and so on that no 'raid' or 'instance' could ever produce.

I can agree with this assessment entirely. The beauty of the EvE universe impresses me more than any other MMO, it's simply incredible.
Mining, on the other hand, is the most boring thing ever.
