Champions Online has released their official (vs. unofficial?) box art:
It’s pretty decent, lots of action-in-motion going on. But it does seem a bit familiar…
I guess this “superhero vs. supervillain flying at each other with fists raised all willy-nilly” is a staple for the genre. What do you say, Superfriends?
The good guy vs. bad guy squaring off at one another has been used a ton. As a comic book collector I can attest to that. And apparently … it works on video game covers, too.
Clearly Champions is the superior game. They have not only a pair of guys about to fist fight, but also a giant evil-looking dude in the background. That’s like 50% more dudes than COX has.
Heh, I just threw that up on the site last night.
Good observation about the…CoX box. (snicker)
I do wish they wouldve done something more original, but oh well. Not like im going to have it on display at my desk.
What are you talking about?!

It is oh so much a staple of comics…
I remember a very ole X-Men comics where the new X-Men are shown squaring off against the old team. Or Marvel vs DC. Or…
It’s as much a staple as the fact that super heroes HAVE to fight for at least a few panel before achieving a truce and going after the bad guy and his mooks. A staple you don’t see in Super MMORPGs, but which would be hilarious ^^
“Meanwhile… at the Hall of Justice…” Sometimes your blog makes me feel old, Syp.
Eh well if it ain’t broke…
