Strap on your space suit and prepare to blast into the depths of the galaxy.

The space shooter Eve has been entertaining gaming fans for the past 10 years. But now this game has been reinvented and taken to a new dimension with Eve Valkyrie.

This new title is still in development, but the Daily Star Online got the chance to have an exclusive play before anyone else.

Using the awesome Oculus Rift Virtual Reality headset, this galactic game is like nothing we have experienced before.

With a full 360 degree view of your surroundings, you feel as if you're in deepest space.

Taking a seat inside your craft, it’s up to you to blast your opponents out of the sky in a space dogfight.

This is our third play using the Oculus Rift headset and Eve Valkyrie is by far the best experience. The game play is simple to learn but thrilling to play and the HD graphics are stunning.

Even better, the Icelandic makers of the game, CCP, have given the task of designing Valkyrie to a team in Newcastle.

Speaking to Chief Marketing officer of CCP, David Reid, he told us "Valkyrie is an intense spaceship dogfighting game. It's a pulse pounding moment to moment experince that fans will love".

For the full exclusive interview with David watch the video below.

Eve Valkyrie and the Oculus Rift headset are both due for release sometime next year and rumours are that the headset will set you back around £250

If this price becomes a reality, and with games like Eve Valkyrie being released, we’ve got a feeling it'll take the universe by storm.
