Champions Online Free Weekend Offers Zombies, Mummies

Though battling the undead is generally work reserved for those with chainsaws attached to their arms, Champions Online is giving players the chance to do that for free in form-revealing spandex this weekend.  Prospective players can visit the Champions Online website to create an account, download the client, and participate in the Blood Moon weekend event.  In this event, necromantic ruler Takofanes has returned, bringing with him a host of undead servants and confusion as to his name’s pronunciation.  The exact hours of free play stretch from 10:00 am October 30th to 10:00 am November 2nd (PST).  Maybe now the game will see more Evil Dead and Van Helsing knockoffs – a refreshing change from all the “Iron M@ns” and “W00lverin3s” running around.  [Champions Online Website via BluesNews]
