Paragon City is in trouble. And I was just the man to help... well, woman sometimes, but that's another story. It's been a month since City of Heroes was released to store shelves and I can firmly say that I still really like this game. That isn't to say that it doesn't need some improvements in certain areas, but what Cryptic has created here is nothing less than one of the most exciting MMOs that I've ever played with the coolest premise.
