Eurogamer: What's the most satisfying thing about effectively being the Grand Poobah of an entire world? Apart from any admin-level privileges you might use to slay the unkind, obviously.

Jack Emmert: Being able to change something that's annoying in the game. In City of Villains, I play-tested a particular Strike Force (a long series of adventures) and I could get the things I didn't like changed immediately.

We've established that the gameplay and mission structures are largely the same as those in CoH, and that you don't get to do a lot of good-guy whacking right off the bat, to boot. So what are the compelling reasons to buy this game? There are quite a few, actually, but the biggest draw for most people is going to be the inclusion of five all-new character classes not seen in City of Heroes. A couple of them, like the Corruptor, roughly match up with a similar archetype on CoH (in this instance, the Blaster).

Check out our brand new GUIDES section on the City of [X] web site! The first guide is an Emote Guide for both CoV and CoH.

We will slowly be expanding this section over time to include a wide variety of guides and I�m inviting feedback � what kinds of guides and information would you all like to see? Power lists, strikeforce strategy guides, tips and tactics? You tell me what you most desire. In a proactive attempt to don my flame-resistant suit, please keep in mind that I will not be able to create every guide you ask for (I am only one woman after all) but I�d like to hear what types of information are most sought after.
