I’m going to hold off posting my big review of Champions until sometime after launch, when I’ve been able to give it a huge chunk of time — since up to this point in the beta, I’ve only played an evening here or there. Suffice to say, there are things I like, things I don’t, and things that concern me — but I’m more than willing to give it a good shot.
However, I did want to get to you some of the thoughts and impressions from the blog community, so here goes:
- Kill That Cheerleader (and some more from him)
- Dragonchasers
- The Common Sense Gamer
- Kill Ten Rats
- Hudson
- Keen
- Massively
- Cedarstreet
- Juxtaposed Life
- Massively (longer impression)
- West Karana
- Shadow WAR
- Echoes of Nonsense
- Werit
- MMO Crunch
- Tobold
- Bullet Points
- Slurms
- NecroRogIcon
Also, don’t miss West Karana’s Champions webcomic: Part One, Part Two
Bio Break 
Hmm, “Entrance” was more like a first, FIRST glance at the game. If you want my real review, I literally just finished it. At about 2500 words, I think I may have been too thorough.
Shadow-war has a belter of a post here on CO

Oh and thanks for the link 🙂
I’ve enjoying Champions Online actually although I’ve spent far more time in the character creator than I have within the actual game 😀
Thanks for the linkage Syp!
Champions Online reminds me of a refined Star Wars Galaxies, minus the wookies. Character creator is awesome, combat is enjoyable, you can mix and match your abilities.
However, I feel it ultimately fails to SWG’s largest fault for myself, I don’t see any reason to play other than to see what else my character can do. LOTRO has spoiled me, I love the story arch, how that game pulls you in and makes you feel like a small part of a larger struggle. Champions online is fun, but without a strong story arch i don’t see myself purchasing it.
