  Just when I thought I might be losing interest
City of Heroes adds PvP.

(You can just tell this is going to induce a) SQUEEEEEEEE!

If there's one thing about superheroes, it's that not only must you allow for the story arcs that interweave all the badguy-bashing, something that Cryptic has done very well, but superheroes must not be constrained to smacking the little baddy-twerps around. In one sense, the arch-villains like Dr. Vahzilok serve this purpose well enough. In another, heroes need to occasionally throw down and see who's got the better stuff. The Coliseum now allows not only for individual brawls for superiority, but it allows for Supergroups to have at it. You just know that the X-Men and the Avengers are going to be at each other's thr- oh wait. Never mind.

All they need now is the ability to do the universe crossovers, and you can bet this could be realized by allowing players on different servers to somehow play with each other. That would be `teh awesome'.
