Champions Online

It doesn’t always make itself easy to like, and it’ll die on the vine unless it gets more areas to quest in and endgame content pretty damn soon, but it’s a fun break from the normal MMORPG template, and even with its problems, worth checking out.

Need a hero? Just wave a quest icon and they'll all come running

Sep 9, 2009

A city under siege. Aliens stalk the streets, abducting and bewitching the terrified population. Demons rise from the pavements, burning everything they see. The people cry out, begging for a hero with the strength and courage to see them safely through this darkest of nights. And look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No!

Champions Online – hands-on

Superhero comic books are brought to life in this MMORPG, and the people are counting on YOU

May 13, 2009

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s… some character you created in a videogame.
