GameZone writes: "When it launched, NCsoft's City of Heroes proved naysayers wrong and became a benchmark in the massively multiplayer online (MMO) gaming space. Not only did it buck the trend of the general failure of superhero games to connect with the gaming masses, but it also introduced the deepest character customization/creation system seen in an MMO.
That NCsoft released two MMOs at the same time only added to the remarkable success of City of Heroes. Well, there have been expansions, and updates and the whole City of Villains element added to the game, but the CoH/V is about to again set a benchmark in the MMO genre."
From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."
You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.
One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.
I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.
Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.
HPP: Continuing our rankings of superhero games of the past three decades, here are our rankings for the top superhero video games of the 2000s.
It might be a new decade, but I’m going to make the same old mistakes and try to predict what I think will happen in free-to-play gaming over the next calendar year. Joining me on this descent into madness will be Q and Mike, who’s choices on my predictions will be added after they’re made on the Free-to-Play Podcast...
