Champions Online Preview

Voodoo Extreme tackles the first five levels of Champions Online in their second hands-on preview of the superhero-themed MMORPG. They use more of an in-game format on this one, too:
I'm standing here in Millennium City with Sergeant McAvoy. He wants me to ask him questions, but I'm not in the mood for mindless flirting. I tell him like it is, "Sergeant, we've got bugs to splatter, let's move this along.", he nods his head and gives me my first mission. I must go interact with a computer. I thought I was already doing that. The computer is just across the street and there's a big glowing question mark above it, hanging in suspended animation. Technology is always one step ahead. Or perhaps it is a doomsday device planted by the Qularr. There's only one way to find out.

The computer is welcoming me to Millennium City, they desperately need my help. The Qularr have invaded the city and it's up to me to turn them into bug juice. See? What did I tell you, Hornet? It's all up to me. You were right when you said that locking me in the supply cupboard and giving me toilet swirlies would add character and put hair on my chest! This computer in which I have just interacted with has faith in my abilities to save the city. That's right Hornet my good friend, a whole city!

I must say, this is a very simple, yet tiresome mission. Hurry things up computer, surely there is work to be done here requiring of my super abilities. I'll just surf some porn while you continue yacking. Done. Now it's time to get down to the real business of being a superhero. I have to destroy three alien pods in the alley to the south. Damn alien spawn, I'll show them we mean business! Hey, another superhero is checking out my goods. Can't say that I blame him. Time to destroy those pods with my Sonic Blast and... damn that dragon guy is staring at my back-side again. One would think that he had never seen a bunny tail before.
