Winter is a special, magical time of year. Snowballs are flung at friends, ski chalets are open for business, and giant snow creatures roam the city terrorising citizens. Well, this would be true if you lived in the City of - universe. Every year brings about new frosty dangers for the citizens of Paragon City, the Rogue Isles and this year Praetoria.

Paragon City is once again at war with beings from another dimension. First it was the Rikti and now this time the invaders look more like us. A lot more like us.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Mr. and Mrs. Wentworth to find out more about Real World Hero.
