Been playing this since the end of April now and have to say I am hooked. I didn't use the fantastic HEXUS offer for the 14 day free trial as I was looking for a new MMORPG already. Decided to go for City of Villains regardless and am really pleased with my purchase! So far so Good it has to be said, done allsorts ingame so far, quests are literally made up of opposites to what the good guys would do. Kidnap people for a mad scientist, kill a good guy boss that has setup camp in the Villains territory but the best one I have done yet is a bank raid in Paragon City, home of the do gooders. In and out in 15 minutes causing as much destruction and mayhem as possible, smash the vault door open and finally the coup de grace - kill the hero that is called to protect the bank! Must admit it was frantic start to finish but was also fun doing the bank job and sticking it to the heroes.
I know this should be in MMORPG bit of the boards but with the HEXUS offer it is worthwhile nabbing a key and trying it out before they are gone. Links :

And now for a few screenies, some of them have the bloom extra effects enabled and others don't. Reason for this is that my system was crashing and I was trying a few different settings to get to the bottom of it. If anyone wants to meet up ingame give me a shout, my ingame name is Garrick and I play on the Defiant server.
As you can see, I have been soloing quite a bit due to the crash problems I have been having and not wanting to drop teams in the thick of it if I vanish suddenly. Teams are dead easy to get into unlike a FEW other online games, had loads of invitation to join up and have taken a few of them up. The game scales depending on how many people are on the team. If you are soloing then you will get 3 enemies a time to go up against, a team of 6 though and you are looking at a room that is quite full.
