The sad truth is; true innovation hasn't been seen in world of massive-multiplayer online gaming in a very long time. Granted, many new games introduce new twists and quirks that make themselves slightly better than the competition, but nothing really strays from the fantasy, sci-fi, or related setting. NCSoft's City of Heroes is the first exception to this disappointing trend. No longer must you toil through dungeons and plains fighting creatures and buying swords, armor or guns. Here, you take on the role of your very own superhero and do your part to clean up the crime-infested Paragon City.
