I mistakenly believed that buying this game at finals time would be excellent way to unwind when I wasn’t studying my little ass off. I was sorely mistaken, as the best of us often are.

Today, we heard from some of the minds behind City of Heroes, the industry’s leading superhero MMORPG. They talked extensively about what it means to take a game that was solid at release and keep it fresh and fun over the years.

I don't think that ever, in my 20-year video game history, have I buckled into a suit of armor and fired madly into a swarm of rampaging golden-tailed marmasets. Why is this? Because marmasets are cute, and no developer would condone such a heartless act. Yet. When it comes time to hold your own against rampaging creatures, it always seems to be bugs. The biggest titles to come to mind just now... more.

I've got blisters on me fingers! After a night-long adventure on tour around the world, I'm back and ready to report on this rock and roll experience.
