Ah, City of Heroes, I love you

Our new thematically-linked superhero team, Not Just For Christmas. They have a linked backstory and origin as well as their own stories, but I won’t bore you with them here. Suffice to say, any game that lets you play dogs gets my attention, and City does so much of MMOing RIGHT – not least of which is maximizing the “dress-up” fun of it all. It was designed and released before World of Warcraft and has consistently done a better job in design and playability in almost every respect, often being light years ahead of the market leader or indeed any competition.

It goes free to play in October, so you may want to check it out.
