City of Heroes Diary

One of the editors at Eurogamer has put together a new diary for City of Heroes, having returned to the game from what sounds like a fairly long hiatus. Check it out:
Me? I like superpowers, and wouldn't swap the view for anything.

Now I'm back, Steel Canyon's cityscape is both painfully familiar and shot through with moments of strangeness. Like most Massively Multiplayer Games, the game doesn't present a static landscape, both in features and geography. However City of Heroes takes it further than most, with its updates - affectionately labelled to show its pulp-comic origins as "Issues" - expanding the content in genuinely meaningful ways. I took my leave of absence from the protectorates of Paragon City just after the start of Issue 2, only staying long enough to earn the right to wear a cloak. Because I'm a poser. With Issue 3 now live, there's a lot of stuff I simply don't understand yet.
