If Superheroes are your idea of fun, take a look at Gamespy's preview of Cryptic Studios/NCSoft's City of Heroes. This is apparently the first of a series of CoH articles:Superheroes! The word calls to mind images of sizzling superpowers and Technicolor tights. But recent movie blockbusters such as Spider-Man or X-Men -- as well as the resurgence of graphic novels -- have given the superhero genre a modern edge. The stylized, and sometimes dark realism of modern comics, provides the fodder for one of this year's most unusual massively multiplayer titles: City of Heroes, from Cryptic Studios and NCsoft. Forget swords and sorcery: we're talking about mutants! Cyborgs! Men of iron, women of steel, and monsters of rock. |
