Give City of Heroes a try News
PC MMO News by Robert Purchese
Always teetering on the border of good and evil? Can't decide whether to feed your cat or kill it? Well, Eurogamer's got the remedy.
You see, we've teamed up with NCsoft to give away 2000 trial keys for City of Heroes and City of Villains, giving you the chance to wrap up in spandex and live out a Jekyll and Hyde fantasy life.
All you have to do join the party is become a registered user of Eurogamer, which will also open the wonderful community world of Eurogamers for you - giving you access to forums, groups, friends lists, and more. And don't worry, we won't pass your details on to anyone else or bombard you with rubbish.
Once you've done that - by clicking on the "register" button on the top right of the page - you can enter your name into our Harry Potter-like sorting hat and hope you win.
Those of you who are lucky enough to win will be given two weeks to try out Cryptic Studios' impressive PC MMORPG for free. Absolutely nothing, zilch.
It warranted us giving it a nine two years ago and has had all sorts of bells and whistles added since: most recently the Invention System that lets you craft your own super items, even wings!
If that's your cup of tea, then get your skates on and get yourself a key.
Are you excited about City of Villains on PC?

I don't actually care for the game but the process of getting a key was very enjoyable. Congratulations to all involved.

Haven't played this in a while, and you can use the key on existing accounts.
So good job all Especially Beaker, the Eurogamer Robot =)

Nice, always liked the look of this so grabbed a key, Im assuming I dont have to use it straight away as im off on holiday next week, so would be a bit silly to start a trial, use it for only 4 days, and have it expire whilst im away.

Wahay! Got key, will download when I get home. Time to fulfill my evil villainous fantasies at last!
Agree with the others, very streamlined key giveaway system, props to all. Edit: Ah, it's only City of Heroes, not the Villains one as well. Still, perhaps crime fighting will suit me as much as evil machinations!

Funny enough, I was thinking of getting this only yesterday. Serendipity.

gamingdave, AHiFi: I just signed up to and have an email saying my trial expires May 25th. I suspect that if you hold onto the key and don't sign up for the NCSoft account yet, you'll be able to postpone the trial's start.

It is an awesome system, for the key give away!
And you can play as villain, I setup a particularly evil chap with a very evil handlebar moustache, I do find clicking on-screen icons to release lame bolts of ICE at slug worm beasts a bit too rubbish for my tastes, but then again I am playing through Company of Heroes at the moment and nothing compares, nothing I say! (cc turns and whispers to game box) I’m so glad I found you Company of Heroes…

I had the 'not accepting password, username' log-in probelm on and off all weekend...and solved it after a while..
DONT use the CoHupdater in your City of Heros directory to log on... Use the CoHupdater you downloaded from the link on your PlayNC account. Put it on your desk top and run that.. For some stupid reason if you use the proper one in your game directory it 'TRYS' to download the game again, then moans about permissions.. Enjoyable game, but shame its not more like Guild Wars and free...Id pay to play it, but not on a monthly subscription. Off we go back to WOW and watch WAR in on the horizon. |
