NCSoft and Paragon Studios have posted a new Intrepid Informer article detailing features in its super hero themed MMO, City of Heroes. This time the Informer focuses on the game's Summer Blockbuster Double Feature, two special events for players to enjoy.

My goal with this event was to do something unlike anything we've done before. The Summer Blockbuster has provided me the opportunity to make homage to the over-the-top movies that I love while providing a unique play experience for City of Heroes that also has appeal to our international audience. Our art department has been hard at work, crafting some of the most stand-out locations in the game thus far for this event.

In 'Time Gladiator,' players must battle Minotaurs, Ninjas, Robots and Gunslingers on the sandy grounds of an immense Roman coliseum. Wave after wave of enemies assails the players and they must survive at any cost to become the new champions. The coliseum crowd is the ultimate judge of your team's performance and they will scream and cheer for a proper show. Should you oblige them, the God-Champion of the coliseum may reveal himself and subject your team to the ultimate challenge.

In 'Casino Heist," you find yourself knocking over the posh and luxurious casino, Tyrant's Palace. Each with their own roles, your team will con, sneak, hack and steal its way through the security defenses of the casino. Just as you're about to get away with your haul, the Chief of Security will appear to settle the score. Taking the Tyrant's Palace Casino for everything it's worth will require specialized expertise and finesse.
