There's no shortage of spectacle at Comic-Con, where every nook and cranny is crammed with superheroes, robots, aliens, and even the occasional robot alien superhero. But few spectacles draw as big a crowd as a photo opportunity with Batman and Wonder Woman outside of the DC Universe Online booth. The booth is mobbed. Kids and adults, men and women, hardcore and casual fans -- everyone wants their picture taken.
The appeal of these iconic characters is at the heart of DC Universe Online, the action-based MMO for PC and PS3 that Sony Online Entertainment is cooking up. The game was playable for the first time at Comic-Con, and GameSpy was on hand with Creative Director Chris Cao to talk about how he and his team are hard at work to bring the DC comics to life.

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
