I’ve grown attached to Marvel Heroes ever since I previewed the game at New York Comic Con. The game is far more enjoyable if you think of it less as a newer attempt at City of Heroes and more as a spiritual successor to the Diablo games. Still, despite all the time I’ve spent going [...]

Comic Con Hands On: Marvel Heroes
October 15th, 2012 
Omali When thinking about Marvel Heroes, I want you to remember one name: David Brevik. If you already know who David Brevik is, then my mention of his name should automatically make you think of Diablo, and that is where I would like to begin.

Specifically, MMOs have always been about creating a character (occasionally one that looks like you), and setting him loose in a world to run through their story. The more casual among us might use this character creator to push out an aesthetically pleasing avatar with generous amounts [...]
Marvel Universe Will Be Free To Play
April 29th, 2011 Omali No, I’m not talking about Super Hero Squad! Marvel Universe Online is in fact still in development, and in an interview with Massively.com, Jeff Lind talked about the game launching from the start as free to play: That was the big surprise of the day! We are very excited about that. We think that [F2P] [...]
