For anyone who is even casually interested in comic book heroes, and enjoys gaming to boot, City of Heroes is a must have title. As someone who played in the "pre-order beta," I have played a ton of hours already, and look forward to playing a ton of hours in the upcoming months. There is an awesome character set-up tool that allows you to create almost any kind of hero using wide ranging powers, creating the costume that you want, giving them a detailed bio and even coming up with whatever battle cry that fits your character. This game will appeal to you if you're not into the whole questing for minutia, hording goods and hunting down some enchanted amulet hidden in some cave. If you don't want to endlessly maintain your inventory and buy and sell every thing from books to clothes to food and weapons, but DO want to take down bad guys COH IS for you. Instead of roaming a barren countryside looking for rodents to kill, or be killed, the cities in COH are teaming with NPC's and other baddies. For some reason I have an easier time dealing with death from some hood with a shotgun than death at the hands of some giant, mystical rat. The missions can be soloed or you can team up with other heroes...and for some reason the COH community seems to be very into teaming up, as I have never had a session where I wasn't approached at least two or three times to join forces with fellow heroes. Addressing the pay to play issue, $13 per month really isn't too much to ask when you consider that this amount of money buys you about 3 comics and about 30 minutes of reading. Go out and buy COH and help make Paragon City a safer place to live!
