GameSpy: Here's what happens in an online shooter. You boot up the game and join a match. Shoot 12 enemy soldiers in the head. Die 15 times, despite your best effort. Check out the stats in the post-match debriefing. See that your team edged out the opposing team in kills anyway. Send a "GG" or engage in trash talk, depending. Close the game.
But here's what doesn't happen: Feeling satisfied that you've spent half an hour securing a crucial planetary installation that supports a distant friend who pilots a fearsome battle cruiser, a pilot who then happily escorts you and your fellow mercenaries to the next planet in your expanding empire in need of grunt labor. Coordinating that in-game, or perhaps over email or Skype -- however you keep in touch with allies. Needing to, because the band of thugs that tried to infiltrate your planet now carries a vendetta against your entire corporation, in all likelihood.

Some thoughts from the developers on various aspects of the new EVE Online Havoc expansion and more.
considering Gamespy is part of the IGN network and the IGN network is practically run by Microsoft I'm shocked this pro PS3 piece is on Gamespy.
I haven't seen anything pro-PS3 on Gamespy in probably 4 years and that last time was probably a mistake.
Is looking great, most impressed because is revolutionary.
