True believers, I present an MMO worth your consideration.

I love super heroes and I love video games so naturally whenever there is a combination of the two, I get excited.

Unlike most titles in the series, the game doesn’t bear the year in the title, making it somewhat of a special release. As such, the game isn’t quite as complete as the typical yearly Madden release.
