What are good Superhero Games for a PC

What are good superhero games for a PC.

What's fun?

I think the original Ultimate Alliance is on PC....

Looking for something to play on my Mac.

Thanks!

Freedom Force. The 1st one. And then... the 2nd one.

FREEDOM FORCE!!! 1,000 times over. Don't walk, run, to go dl a copy from Steam. I dig the game, but FF will make Ultimate Alliance look like a game with special needs.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is coming out in about a week, and has gotten rave reviews thus far.

Freedom Force
Freedom Froce vs. The Third Reich

Also Champions Online comes out on 9/1. From the makers of City of Heroes, which is also worth checking out.

Will these play on Vista?

I loved the first FF but never got the second because i missed it at launch and then years later it didn't look like it played on Vista.

I think you can get both on Steam for around $7. I'm not sure if the Steam version plays on Vista.

Re: What are good Superhero Games for a PC

Googling around it seems the Steam version has the newest patch which will let them play on Vista.

I have it bought and downloading now. I absolutely loved the first game and never had a chance to play the second so i'm pretty excited.

It will just not be competing with the time i spend on the PC playing the free Magic-like CCG game Elements.

I think the second game suffered a bit because of the new power sets of the "mystery men" style characters, so I never finished it. But it was still really good. I'm going to play through both games again sometime soon and give part 2 a second chance.

I loved Freedom Force. I bought them again on Steam even though I had them on CD.

There's no Steam for Mac though, right? So unless you're running a VM, Parallels, or Boot Camp, Steam probably wouldn't be an easy way to go for Freedom Force.
