Writer Marv Wolfman signs up for DC Universe Online

Reposted from Joystiq

Earlier this week we heard about a secret comic book "legend" joining the DC Universe Online development team. The silhouetted individual was supposed to be revealed at New York Comic Con next weekend. Of course, you didn't expect it to remain a secret until then, did you? The latest issue of Wizard magazine (via BigDownload) has let the Black Cat out of the bag: writer Marv Wolfman will be enlisting with previously revealed comic veterans Geoff Jones and Jim Lee and the rest of Sony Online.

The creator of Blade and writer of Crisis on Infinite Earths will be expanding and adding to the narrative already written by Jones, while Lee is handling the art direction. Even though the surprise has apparently been spoiled, you'll still be able to enjoy a brand new playable demo at the convention. Look for the DC Universe Online panel on Saturday, February 7.

EVE Online's Walking Expansion Adds Player-Made Shops [Expansionism]

Reposted from Kotaku

At CCP's Fanfest convention in Reykjavik, Iceland, EVE Online's company has revealed further plans for the upcoming Walking In Stations expansion, which for the first time will allow players to get off of their ships and socialize a bit. Where will they socialize? In player created bars and shops, apparently. Players will be able to purchase blueprints, install them in empty sockets in space station promenades, and customize them with different NPCs, rules, vendors, and custom dialog. Space stations will also have mini-games available to play and wager on. It's so Deep Space Nine you'll think every inanimate object is secretly Odo.

In addition to shops and bars, players will also have captain's quarters on their ships, while corporations will have meeting rooms and recruitment offices.

Hit up the link below for Eurogamer's exhaustive look at all of the new features being introduced.
