More on Ten Ton Hammer

Champions Online is an MMOG in developed by Cryptic Studios, the same developer who created City of Heroes and City of Villains, based on the Champions pen and paper RPG.

Champions Online is all about total customization – it offers a near infinite number of character customization options so that all players will have a unique game experience. Gamers can create their hero's name, back story, costume, powers and abilities as well as design their own personal arch-enemy and his or her back story, which will guarantee a truly unique experience. Champions Online will give players the power of total customization of their hero experience while they explore a vast universe of richly detailed 3D environments.

Players aid in defending the gaming world from aliens, giant monsters, evil organizations, clones and mad scientists. Battle will not only be waged in the confines of the heroes world, but battle will take the players through space and even to alternate dimensions.
