This isn't your average videogame based on whatever comic book hero is popular these days, folks. City of Heroes is bound to be one of those delightful games you tell your grandkids about while they're rummaging through your old boxes in your attic.

Everyone has done it at least once in his or her life - taking a towel or bed sheet to create a makeshift cape to play superhero. There is no denying that superheroes are the stuff of dreams and imagination. We all in one way or another fantasize about

In a word. Wow. What? You want more? Ok. City of Heroes, for those of you who don't know, is a MMORPG where you play a superhero. Your hero lives and works in Paragon City, a place of adventure, which has seen better days. Between gang fights over turf

Without straying too much from the formula of powers being activated and then recharging, they've put the action back into fighting. Most main offensive powers recharge in a matter of seconds, and not too long after starting, there will be a number of the

In the MMORPG genre there is almost always one thing that is constant across all games, and that is that the title is set in the medieval/fantasy time period. Most of the gameplay has you running around slaying mythical creatures using sword and spells

I have read and enjoyed superhero comics since I was a kid. Superman, Batman, X-men, I loved â€em all. Of course like every kid, I tried to imagine what it would be like to be a superhero, to soar above the city, as its inhabitants look to you for

While doing some pre-release research I came across this statement, "If it isn’t done 100% right, it’s not in our game." Many other companies promised this level of refinement, but City of Heroes, in my opinion, is the first to deliver. City of

I was floored by character creation! I haven't played too many MMORPGs, just Star Wars Galaxies (MMORPG or monthly payment to Sony? You decide), Asheron's Call, and Multiplayer Battletech 3025, a.k.a. The Greatest MMORPG of all time... an

Level Up?for Justice! Like most other MMOs, City of Heroes is most fun when played with friends. Just going around and seeing all the superheroes people have come up with is awesome, but going into Perez Park with a team of six people is a wonder to behol

Unlike most massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGs) that I've played in the past, CoH allows you to alt+Tab out of the game and surf the web, chat on a messenger, or even write a review for the game. This is a feature that has been

T here are more persistent shared worlds (PSWs) available to players online now than ever before, and many more of them are on the way. For publishers, these games have two enormous advantages over traditional games: The companies can charge players a

The MMORPG market is currently packed with titles, and it's becoming a very strange genre - the behemoth of publishers, EA, can't seem to find a hit massive multiplayer game, and the little independent studios are finding moderate to great success with

When I was playing the beta at the beginning of this year, I was clustered to my screen for many hours. I was happy to hear we could review the game but disappointed that we would only get a 2-week trial. But since I wanted to check it out again, I was

City of Heroes was released to store shelves and I can firmly say that I still really like this game. That isn't to say that it doesn't need some improvements in certain areas, but what Cryptic has created here is nothing less than one of the most

City of Heroes is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game...but don't hold that against it. If you've tried one of these types of games lately, then you know they can be clunky, hard to get into, slow-paced, and prohibitively time-consuming.

“Yet another MMORPG?” is what you’re thinking, right? True, the market is flooded with them lately. City of Heroes however at least looks unique. In this game you create your own Super Hero as opposed to your typical Paladin or Druid. Apart from
