Try City of Heroes for free!
31 May, 2005
That’s right, if you’ve ever thought about joining the heroes of Paragon City in their fight against criminal masterminds, giant monsters, alien invaders and the forces of chaos and darkness, now’s the time. NCsoft has teamed up with some of Europe’s biggest PC games magazines to offer a special 14-day trial of City of Heroes to their readers - for free! You won’t even need a credit card to register.
Potential heroes in the UK should grab a copy of Issue 150 of PC Gamer, due out on 9 June, which will come in a rather snazzy (and easy to spot) red package (pictured to the right). Both the DVD and CD Editions will feature a unique 14-day trial code with which you can start a City of Heroes account. The DVD Edition also features the full City of Heroes client on the DVD, while the CD Edition includes the Updater, which will allow you to download the client.
Spanish players, on the other hand, should nip down to the shops now and grab Issue 125 of Micromania (pictured to the left). As well as a unique 14-day trial code, the full City of Heroes client is included on the cover-mounted DVD.
To help you get started, you can download a PDF version of the game manual here. For more help and advice, check out the Official Message Boards, where there are plenty of experienced players willing to point a new hero in the right direction.
