Slate‘s Clive Thompson reviews the most recent wave of MMORPGs, namely City of Heroes and World of Warcraft. The latter has already consumed several of my family members, and, frankly, I’m just afraid of it — my gaming binges are bad enough without adding an open-ended MMORPG to the mix. Sounds fun, though…

I had avoided MMOs like the proverbial plague until CoH came along. They seem to have found a decent balance, allowing you to keep your life* and still enjoy kicking villain butt.
*Of course, the amount of life you have may influence your decision to play such a game in the first place, but let’s not talk about my problems.
As a level 60 Dwarf Paladin hailing from the realm of Icecrown I can honestly say I could stop at any time. I just need one more “Upper Blackrock Spire” crawl to satiate my Dwarf’s lust of Lightforge armor. Oh how its so close, yet once you get there its so far away. For Khaz’Modan!
LOL, Alan.
