The new massively multiplayer online role-playing game "Champions Online" launches next month. Gamers will be able to create their own virtual superheroes. Sorry, no Spider-Men or Batmen allowed.
Developed by Cryptic Studios and published by Atari, the PC game is based on "Champions," a pen-and-paper role-playing game published in 1981.
"Champions" isn't the first superhero-themed online game. Cryptic Studios also developed "City of Heroes" in 2004 and its sequel, "City of Villains," in 2005. DC and Marvel Comics have also announced they are developing their own online games, which will allow gamers to fight alongside characters such as Superman and Batman.
