Razer Guide Review
Jan 10th
Finally I was able to find time to post a detailed Razer Guide review. The entire DCUO Guide is now available for download and according to me is by far THE BEST guide out there. It’s not just one single guide – it’s a complete pack of several guides like leveling, movement, PVP, quest walkthrough, UI and game mechanics.
Since over two weeks, I have been trying very hard to assemble a DCUO guide. However, I couldn’t find even one single guide out there which covers everything. This was until I went through Razer Guide. It took me a while to read it entirely and I was shocked to see the amount of content they have covered. I would say it would be a very good idea to have this guide by your side to help you avoid initial days of grinding.

Razer guide covers a lot of things that can be helpful to beginners to get an in-sight into the game from experts point of view. It has a newbie starter guide which explains Character creation, DCUO User Interface and some tips and tricks along with top mistakes that you can avoid as you create your first character. It includes a detailed step by step leveling guide to get you all the way to level 30!
Here is a list of guides that you can find in the members section:
1. DC Universe Online Basics & Char Creation Guide: This is 18 page guide that walks you through game basics. Most of the questions you find people asking on DCUO gamespot forums are covered in this guide. I think this is the best one to get newbies introduced to the game. It introduces you to game world i.e. cities, player hubs, alerts, PVP arena, raids, dcuo, etc. and to the basic game mechanics. Here’s a sneak peek at the contents page. Click to enlarge.
2. Game Mechanics and Game play Guide
3. User Interface and Map Guide
4. Power set and skills Guide
5. Weapons Guide
6. PVP Guide
7. Movement Skills Guide
8. Leveling and Quest Guide: I think the leveling guide is the best one. It’s huge and goes over 120 pages. It covers leveling for each faction – Hero and Villain for each mentor. It starts you off with a leveling basic guide and then dives into the main quest walk-throughs. Here is a list of guides included in the leveling and quest guide package.
I will write more detailed review as I get time and fill in what each of these sections. I would highly recommend that you check out for yourself. They also offer a 60 days money back guarantee. If for some reason, you feel that the guide is not worth your money you can get a refund.

It currently covers all the power sets, weapons, combat and movement skills in detail.

Please note that I am just a web designer and I play this game for fun. My friend is really the gamer behind this who has inspired me to set up this DC Universe Guide site.

I will try to update and correct as much as I can overtime. If you find any such errors, please do report them in comment. I would be happy to fix them.

DC Universe Online Release Date Finally Announced!
Dec 23rd
DC Universe Online has finally gotten an official release date. Sony Entertainment Online (SOE) today announced the release date for the highly anticipated action game DC Universe online (DCUO) which is set to be January 11, 2011 in North Amercia. Isn’t that a pretty cool date – 1/11/11? DCUO will be available in Europe from 1/12/11 for both PC and PS3 platforms.
The price is set to $49 for the PC version and $59 for the PS3 version. I was reading some feed back about what beta testers think about this release. They feel that this release date is a bit too early considering that the feel that there are still a few bugs, especially in the PS3 version. I personally have not tested the PS3 version yet, since I only got a chance to play PC version for a while. However, SOE must be aware of this and hopefully must be working on fixing up all the bugs before the release date.
Finally, just twenty more days and the gates to DC Universe Online world will be finally open! Can’t wait for it!! Please leave a comment about what you think of this release date – is it too early? Is it too late? Or just in time – to begin a new year with a brand new game!
