Gaming is a bit like mining for gold. Every so often, you get a shiny golden nugget of a game that outshines everything around it to such an extent that it starts to take over your life. City of Heroes is one such game. Having the week off helped enormously because as a LOPO (my more pronouncable replacement for MMORPG) City of Heroes has got best of genre all over it. I love it. It may have taken me ages to get my character up to level 27, but it was worth every second – and how often can you say that?
