review:
'EVE: Source' by CCP Games and Dave Marshall (and many, many others) is a huge compendium of background information about the universe in the games EVE Online and DUST 514! I don't play either of these games but I can appreciate the kind of detail here.

Covered in the book are the different races, religions, weapons. The origins of the area of space the game takes place in are included. There are personal accounts as well as excerpts of articles. The different corporations all have developed logos. There are above board trade as well as black market and piracy factions. It seems like the players have a choice of alignment when they play this game. Each group has a detailed map of the star system in their area. The whole thing is beautifully illustrated with some gorgeous space paintings.

I'm impressed by the level of detail that this book includes for a video game system. It definitely feels like things I've seen for rpgs, but the book has such a substantial feel to it. I love the art included. I may just have to check this game out if the game is as richly detailed as this book was.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Diamond Book Distributors, Dark Horse, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
