MMORPG

I'm not really a fan of MMORPGs. Nothing against the genre and its millions of fans, you understand, but I've checked, and it turns out that very few of them allow you to play as 50 Cent on a quest to recover his jewel-encrusted skull, and that sort of thing is very important to me when it comes time to make my entertainment choices...

Making good on its 10-year licensing deal with Marvel, Gazillion Entertainments released its first images representing (i.e. not literal screen grabs) the upcoming "Super Hero Squad Online," a massively multiplayer online game set in the "good guys" vs...
