Bit-Tech.net, most noted for its reviews of the innards of PCs, also has a sideline in gaming coverage - and they have plenty to say about City of Villains, in a seven page review - complete with new screenshots - that ends up with CoV being officially recommended.

The review also picks up on one of the unique benefits of having two games available for one subscription fee:

City of Villains offers something to the MMO world that - so far - no other game has managed, which is to introduce longevity into an estabilished system whilst giving people who are new to the game an incentive to join. Buy City of Villains now, play through as a few Villains and then start all over again as a Hero, playing all the content available in City of Heroes. All this time of course, they are also updating both games with new episodic content.

And in closing, Bit-Tech’s final recommendation is thus:

All in all, this is an absolutely cracking game which will please hardened Heroes and virginal Villains alike. Go and buy this game, then lose your life to it and prepare to adopt a villain-esque mannerism.
