GameSpy writes: "City of Heroes has been going strong for five years, but now it faces its greatest challenge yet: direct competition. While other MMOs, particularly the 800 lb. gorilla known as World of Warcraft, have captured the lion's share of the online space, City of Heroes has always hummed along in its self-made niche. But now it's going to be met head-on by other comic-book inspired games: Sony Online's DC Universe Online and Cryptic's Champions Online. Paragon Studios intends to step up to the challenge by rolling out exciting new content upgrades and a full-fledged expansion that'll blur the lines between heroes and villains."
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's another to good to be true Steam Daily Deal. Tired of the heroes getting all the credit and getting the girl everytime? Is it enough to make so angry that you turn into a supervillian? If so the City of Heroes: Going Rogue expansion is the perfect addition for you.
That's pretty cool, I always play as a hero in games but sometimes mix it up by playing an evil character. I might check this out, not a bad deal.
NCsoft and Paragon Studios have announced the release of Issue 19: Alpha Strike!. As the latest free update to the recently launched City of Heroes: Going Rogue expansion, Issue 19: Alpha Strike! continues the Praetorian storylines introduced in Going Rogue. Players can now unlock amazing new powers and abilities as they begin to take on high-level challenges that have overwhelmed even the mightiest Heroes and Villains. Only the players, as newly awakened Incarnates, stand a chance of saving our world.
As of right now, City of Heroes is in a state of flux. Like any game with a new expansion, the superhero game boasts features that are changing and endgame structures that are being disrupted, and the changes of Issue 19 promise to introduce an actual endgame into a game that's long lacked one. But it all started with the most recent expansion, one that gave players the chance to switch sides back in August -- Going Rogue.
