Yey! Another Gaming post!

Have you ever wanted to become a superhero?  Admit it, when you were young you'd imagine that you were Superman, Batman or even Wonder Woman having amazing superhuman abilities, fighting crime and saving day.  I am sure some of us still have those fantasies.  With DC Universe Online, you are sure to relive those fantasies.

DC Universe Online (DCUO) is an upcoming MMORPG based on the classic comic book universe of DC.  Players will be able to create their own character, either a hero or villain and choose their city of origin.  So far, famous cities like Metropolis and Gotham City has been confirmed.

The game is set to be available on the PC and the PS3.  The game is going to allow you to interact with players on both platforms could actually create an widely various and expansive world.

The best news so far is that the game has been confirmed to have no subscription fee.  From the looks of it too, the game is set to adopt a similar model to Guild Wars where you would purchase the game client and succeeding expansions instead of paying a monthly fee.  A welcome to most geeks out there and people like me who really can't afford to budget for an online game.
