Cheating on WoW: DC Universe Online

Considering my gaming habits of late, I’m wondering if I should start calling these posts, “Cheating on TSW.”

Eh, but there’s something to be said for tradition.

My hero battling the forces of Brainiac in DC Universe OnlineRecently, I found myself seized by the urge to try out a superhero-themed MMO, but I had a bit of a problem. There aren’t many options for superhero MMOs these days. I’ve never heard a good thing about Champions Online, so that was out. That left it down to Marvel Heroes versus DC Universe Online.

Marvel Heroes might have been more appealing based on its source material, as I am a Marvel fan, but I’d also heard a lot of bad things about it. DC Universe Online seemed like the most polished and full-featured game, but I simply do not like DC.

Ultimately, my solution was to try both and see which came out on top.

First up was DC Universe Online. Could I overcome my distaste for the setting to appreciate it as a game? Head on over to WhatMMO to find out, as A Marvel Fan Plays DCUO.

Reminder: Free Copies of Rage of the Old Gods in Exchange for Reviews

As a reminder, I am still seeking reviews for the first book of my World Spectrum series, Rage of the Old Gods. I will provide one free to copy to anyone interested in reviewing the book on a blog or a popular social media profile.

EdwardsYou don’t need to be a professional book reviewer, nor does your blog/profile need to be devoted to book reviews or sci-fi/fantasy topics. I’m just looking for some greater exposure, so all you need is a reasonable number of followers and/or traffic.

You can also feel free to be as honest as you like in your review. I welcome all criticism so as long as it is constructive. Of course, if all you want to do is gush and tell me how brilliant I am, well, I wouldn’t exactly object to that, either…

If you’re interested, send me a message via my contact form with a link to the blog or social media profile where you intend to post your review.

Want to learn more about Rage of the Old Gods first? Check out WorldSpectrum.net for all kinds of information on it and the other books in the series.

Don’t have a following yourself but know someone who does? Let them know about this post.

I’m also looking for reviews of all the World Spectrum novels on Smashwords, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, and other venues where the books are already sold or promoted, though I’m not offering free copies in exchange for those. If you’ve read the books, please head on over and post your reviews.
