Summary: The new MMO game#DY#s details were revealed in a sneak peek of the upcoming issue of Game Informer magazine. Entitled Champions Online, it will allow players to choose between either a character or villain character.

	Game Title: Champions Online
	Genre: Fantasy
	Developer: Cryptic Studios
	Status: Development

It's no surprise that Cryptic Studios next project will have another superhero theme thrown into it. Considering that they were the original developers of NCsoft's City of Heroes and the now defunct Marvel Universe Online MMO titles, it's no wonder that it decided to capitalize on its strength as an MMO developer by working on another title with the same theme.

The new MMO game's details were revealed in a sneak peek of the upcoming issue of Game Informer magazine. Entitled Champions Online, it will allow players to choose between either a character or villain character.

It was also revealed that the new game will be also released for "consoles" as well as the PC. While this seems suspiciously similar to Cryptic Studios own plans for Marvel Universe Online, perhaps this was their own way of reviving the already dead project sans the comic licensing from Marvel.

It's still unsure which console platforms Champions Online will be released on. However, it's sure that NCsoft's City of Heroes will have a new MMO archnemesis once the game goes live.

a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.

Aion, as Beautiful as Before, Is Different to Me Now

Personally, I found Final fantasy XI to be a big let down. The pace of the game is so tedious. Being a big fan of the whole series on consoles- i expected quite a lot. However, Perhaps FFXIV may be different. F2P sounds good however a lot of riff raff usual entail with such things.

FF XIV Follow-up Report: F2P is not an Impossible Dream

Sad....Is she that godly at CS?? I doubth it. Quiting school bad move. "models for a friend" = Doing Xrated things and degrating your self. Notice it's not a professional company. I mean honestly, if you can't even finish the basics which is (1st-12th grade) and graduate.... How much or a moron can you be??.... Her looks will fade, her hands will develop artritis and she will either get pregnant or catch an STD and end up working a dead end shitty job living with her parents. But this is after the whole CS thing blows up in her face.
