In a gesture of gratitude, NCsoft & Cryptic Studios are
giving away 2,000 copies of the best-selling MMOG, City of Heroes, to Marines returning from duty in the Middle
East. The giveaway, which started last Friday at the Norfolk Naval Station Exchange, has been dubbed "Heroes for
Heroes", and recipients (selected by lottery) will get the game and one free month of online play. The Navy Exchange
Service Command is also offering a 10 percent discount on 60-day game cards if purchased when the free copy is
picked up. "We hope they can have fun playing City of Heroes with their family and friends, and know that their
challenging work has not gone unappreciated" (Robert Garriott, president of NCsoft-North America).
