A nice write-up on the progression of EVE:Valkyrie along with impressions of the game while using the DK2!

EVE Valkyrie—or EVE-VR, as it was known this time last year, when it was just a tech demo made for developer CCP's annual gathering of internet spaceship pilots, EVE Fanfest—has come a long way in a year. What was once an impressive, fun demonstration of virtual reality space-fights is now close to an actual game. It's now got a story, it's got Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica starring in its leading role, it's got different ships and loadouts, it looks jaw-dropping. And it remains, in my admittedly still limited experience, the most natural, effortless fun I've had with virtual reality. Slip on the headset, you find yourself sitting in a cockpit, ready to launch out into space, and it's immediately obvious what you have to do: fly and shoot.
