Massively multiplayer games have advanced past the days of creating a single online character to beat up a bunch of goblins for a handful of measly copper coins, only to have your character die and lose everything. Don't take our word for it; take a look at one of last year's most highly evolved massively multiplayer games, City of Heroes. With that game, developer Cryptic Studios and publisher NCSoft were able to release an online game that let you create your very own superhero persona and embark on an online crusade against evildoers, without having to deal with drudgeries common to this sort of online game, like sitting in one place (or "camping") to wait for certain key enemies or items to appear. And the development team is now putting the finishing touches to what is essentially a sequel--a new stand-alone game called City of Villains, which will let you create, you guessed it, your very own supervillain character. We recently had a chance to take another up-close look at the game and some of its new features.
