Ok, our family has been playing an on-line game or MMORPG (massively multi-player on-line role playing game) called City of Heroes/Villains for over three years now.  The entire household has been addicted to it!  What started out as a gift for our son back in 2004 has steadily grown into a household addiction here in 2008.

 What makes it so addictive?  Probably due to its original nature.  There are so many games out there that are knock offs of on-line versions of Dungeons and Dragons (i.e. World of Warcraft, GuildWars, Lord of the Rings and many others).  It is refreshing to find something unique out there that has no equal on-line. 

Welcome to the playing field of City of Heroes (COH)!  The game that allows you to be what you’ve wanted to be since you were a kid!   A Super Hero!  Pick your type and your type of powers!  Either way this game will satisfy your need to be a Super Hero and save the day.  Want to be a Hulk like character, how about Thing?  Maybe being more like Iron Man or one of the X-Men is more your style.  How about being in the role of working on a team and being the glue that binds the team together and keeps them from dieing?  Try playing a defender.  No matter what you want to be, you can be it on COH.

Don’t feel like being one of the good guys?  Ok, try City of Villains (COV).  Be any villain you want to be.  Be a stand-alone bad ass (Brute/Stalker/Corrupter/Dominator) or work on creating your own empire (or at the very least a gang leader) being a Master Mind.  This should satisfy anyone’s super hero/villain cravings!

 What can I say?  I’ve played MANY of the games out there and/or have seen many of the ones I have not played myself.  City of Heroes/Villains has THE BEST costume and character designer interface of ANY game out there in my opinion.   NCSoft/PlayNC is 100% behind their game and constantly developing new material/content for it which keeps the game both interesting and fresh.

If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand out at being a super hero, watched a movie and found yourself twitching in your chair as the hero is fighting, I think this game may be for you.  This game definitely helps take the stress out of a bad day when you can come home from work and bust some bad guys in the chops!  Very therapeutic if you ask me!

Check it out!  They have 10 day trials and it is definitely worth a looksee!  If you are interested, send me an e-mail letting me know the e-mail address you would like me to send an invite to and I will get one over to you.  It’s first come first served as I can only do a limited number of these per month.  Click on the link below to send me an e-mail.
