I am looking to expand my game list, and i am kind of interested in getting a superhero type game, any suggestions.

Are you talking about PC or console?

Or pen and paper?

Or here?

Mutants and Masterminds RPG is a great one. We don't have any Super Hero games running here currently however.

Yeah. Unsure what the question pertained to. GURPS has a Supers game, but all in all, I've not played many.

Pen and paper, i've heard of Mutants and Masterminds, is there anything else?

GURPS Supers.

I think M&M is really the standard for Supers games, though.

There are all the old school games, Marvel and DC both had their own games out in the 90s.

I think there are a ton of superhero games out there, though Mutant & Masterminds is the only one I've played. I think the popular rules-light alternative to M&M is Icons. And most generic systems have supplements that allow you to play supers with them. Hero System has Champions (indeed, Hero started out as Champions in its early editions, then went generic), Savage Worlds has an official super powers supplement and the Necessary Evil setting, and Fate has a number of options, including Venture City, Daring Comics and the Kerberos Club.

I'm sure there's more out there as well. If you go to this forum on RPGNet and ask for recommendations, people will be more than happy to give you theirs; it's useful if you can tell them what you're looking for in a supers game, so they can offer suggestions tuned to your taste, as opposed to just the poster's favorite game.

ive played tristat dX before (basically the generic version of big eyes, small mouth). it's free at drivethrurpg. the superpowers specific game using it is silver age sentinels for which there is a d20 version as well.

I also suggest the white wolf games of the Adventure!/Abberant/Trinity trio.
