Ten Ton Hammer is pleased to showcase Cryptic’s latest video for their superhero MMOG, Champions Online. Champions Online allows players to create super powered heroes, with an incredible amount of options, allowing players to create the unique heroes that they want to play. With features such as being able to pick from any power set plus the ability to create your own arch-villain to act as a nemesis to your hero, Champions Online really packs the punch into comic book POW!

You never get a second chance to make a first impression goes an old saying, and rarely is it proved wrong. Dungeons and Dragons Online has done just that however with the switch in revenue model away from subscriptions to a free-to-play with microtrasnaction platform. Not content to simply rest on its newfound success, the team at Turbine is cranking out adventure packs to satisfy the newly resurgent player base. One of the newest to enter the fray is Gianthold, a pack intended for players in the level 13-14 range that features ten adventures, fourty-five quests and a raid.

Machinima is the fun and stunning art of taking in-game visuals and putting them eloquently to music. These can be as amusing as a tribute to the king of pop, or as pretty and unique as videos recently posted on Aion Life.

Some of you might know me from the WoW-machinima scene.

Well, now I present you my first (which also might be the last) Aion machinima. It’s a bit of a mash-up between a music video and an exploration piece.

The video is done in the style of my Unlimited Escapism (World of Warcraft) videos, but with more music video-styled editing.

Making Aion machinima is currently only limited to ingame filming since there is no model viewer of any kind.

You can check them out here and be sure to post your own faves. I'm amazed at how much players can do just using in game graphics and video editing!

Cryptic has just announced new costume pieces for Champions Online! These new costume pieces are free and will be available next Tuesday (11/24/09) in the upcoming patch. From being able to sling an electric guitar on your back (or a giant axe!), new capes, new helmets, and many more, these new pieces will just add even more choices to CO's costume creator. For a look at the new costume pieces, click here.

A new Bosstiary is up and reveals a lot of info behind the bosses. To me it doesn't give a lot of "new" info or anything more than the maps/boss locations, but it's still pretty cool.

They say that knowledge can be a greater boon than even the most powerful spells, or armor, or weapons. The battles that lie ahead beyond the gates of Icecrown will test your mettle like none before, and you will need all the help you can get. So arm yourself with knowledge, and discover the truth about the dangers that await you within the Frozen Halls in our new Icecrown Dungeon Bosstiary.

The Bosstiary awaits over at the official site.
