Ten Ton Hammer brings you videos of all the cool places to visit in Champions Online. If you are thinking about buying the game, and want to see where you can go; or if you have the game, and want to know what you are getting into before you go there. These videos will show it all to you.

Cryptic Studios has gone to great lengths to insure that players will not only be able to craft the exact character they want in Champions Online, but that they’ll have plenty of interesting gameplay options to choose from. For example, want to add in a whole new layer of excitement to beating the living snot out of supervillains in Millennium City’s rough-n-tumble west side? Add in a dash of B.A.S.H. and the west side transforms into one of CO’s coolest PvP zones!

At a recent event for CO, Ten Ton Hammer had the opportunity to speak with Bill Roper about B.A.S.H. and the other PvP arenas that will be available for players when the game launches on September 1st. To learn more about these offerings as well as what type of rewards players can look forward to earning through PvP in Champions Online, be sure to check it out!
