Being evil isn't really so bad, except maybe for the lag.

Admit it. You want to be naughty. You want to blow stuff up. You want to steal stuff. You want to rule the world. But you don't want to be considered a freak. That's okay because City of Villians lets you interact with and fling the noses of your megalomanaical comrades. And though it might not replace your copy of World of Warcraft, City of Villians still has a hefty community already, despite being only a few months old, and enough to keep you hooked.

First, the real big flaw: Thanks to the new effects NCsoft is dishing up, the frame rate, even when you turn everything down, is horrifyingly slow on ATI cards (which is what I as well as a lot of other people use). The result is one of the best slideshows ever.

But, despite this crippling flaw, COV is still a great game. I've never played any MMO ever before this, so there was the understandably steep learning curve and momentary eye gouging out.

And COV is still really well put together, maybe a bit too much. So, if you love the series, MMOs, or superheroes, you owe it to yourself to buy this game.
