It's Good to be Bad by Afro Thunder

City of Villains. YEAH!!! I finally got it. City of Villains, and I must say that it is INCREDIBLE! Although I still haven’t played WoW, I don’t know how they compare, but I must say, it’s gone up and above than what I expected. I actually expected CoV to be just like CoH, nothing added or anything better than CoH (CoH is still really great mind you), but luckily it was much better than anticipated. The missions are much more interactive and much more versatile than those of CoH and much more fun to partake in. I still haven’t gotten past level 10 yet, but if it’s this good in the beginning, I can only expect great things later on. Several things make this much better than CoH, like extremely flexible costume design; it is only limited by your imagination and you can create anything from a flaming eyed-Emperor to a Skull covered giant with werewolf legs. The costumes are what really entertain me, but it also includes the great opportunity to create bases with almost everything you can imagine from plasma screen T.V.’s to teleporting devices the size of your bedroom. The new opponents are fantastic too. Instead of sticking to police and the original opponents from CoH, they brought in new creatures like ten foot snakes, mobsters wearing wife-beaters and slacks, and magic guardians with helmets like the rocketman. (and this is only the beginning) Also, the new powers are greater than I could’ve imagined. I especially enjoy being a Mastermind, summoning giant armadas of ninja’s. Anyways, talk is cheap, so go experience the new MMORPG today and get blown away with the Scrumtrelentness of the game. 5+ out of 5.

Afro Thunder
A man with crazy Kung-Fu abilities and even crazier hair. But please, don't confuse yourself into thinking he's Jewish, or Arabian, or anything other than a curly-haired, half white, half mexican ninja. He also gives the whole low-down on games and movies, but avoids reviewing comics (he's loves 'em, but can't tell you what he thinks of 'em).

Mike-oh
Mike-oh works for an advertising agency which explains his need for all of the escapism he uses to soak up his spare time. At least he spends some of that time sharing his thoughts with us on his various distractions.
