| | | EVE Online coming to Steam
Another game is making its way to Steam, this time EVE Online. It marks the first MMO to hit Valves content delivery system. Even better news than more games coming to Steam is that EVE Online will be free for a 21 day trial, and $5 off the first month if you do get a subscription. Quote: |

To celebrate the launch of Steam's first massively multiplayer online game offering, a special 21-day trial period for EVE will be available, free of charge, to all Steam gamers. Steam gamers will also save $5 off their first full month of EVE Online.
EVE Online is a leader in online gaming technology, hosting hundreds of thousands of players in the same persistent universe. The latest of the EVE Online expansions, which are always free for players, introduces a graphic update of gargantuan proportions and a host of new gameplay features.

About EVE Online: Quote:
EVE Online: Trinity is a Sci-Fi MMORPG like no other you’ve ever encountered. As human settlers began to explore the cold, unknown reaches of space, they discovered an uncharted wormhole that led to an exotic and unclaimed sector of space. The celestial portal led these explorers to a galaxy they dubbed “New Eden.” Rich in resources, New Eden was assaulted by throngs of greedy pilots, fanatical sects of hell-bent fugitives, and mega-corporations; each hoping to stake their claims against the other. The golden age was short-lived. Millions flourished in wealth, and millions more died after the heavenly anomaly collapsed, severing one side from the other. A dark age fell upon New Eden for thousands of years, until four nations rose from the ashes of Earth’s forgotten legacy.
* Play on one server - EVE Online is a leader in online gaming technology, hosting hundreds of thousands of players in the same persistent universe.
* Liberating advancement - Never"grind"for a skill again. Because the EVE universe is persistent, your skills increase even while you’re offline.
* PvP (Player vs. Player) based on strategy, not levels - Tactics have value in EVE Online. Experience and treachery will often beat top-of-the-line modifications and fancy ships.
* Free EVE Online expansions - You will never be charged for an EVE expansion – as the EVE universe grows, so do the benefits of your subscription.

| Nothing can replace the epic experience of visiting an EBGames/Gamestop retail store.
