THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT They've got a web based game going on until it goes live I believe, but you need facebook to play it. If anyone is interested in joining as a Templar sign up. http://secretwar.thesecretworld.com/en_US/share/mission/recruit/510968 |

Looks pretty cool. They are really capitalizing on the social recruiting aspect to a level I have not seen before. Illuminati.

I have never seen this before but it looks intriguing. Hopefully it shys away from the traditional EW/WoW style of MMO with boring questing. I'd definitely like to see more.
Also I took the personality test and got Dragon... I'm not sure if this is good or bad. |

Odd I looked at IGNs site yesterday and it was cancelled, maybe it was a different platform? Maybe the 360 version, they're focusing on the PC version. And yeah, just looked, the 360 was cancelled. |

I got a beta invite today, goes active tomorrow. Really hoping it's not a wow clone, I'll report back once I'm in.
Looks like it would be the perfect Arfcom game. Every conspiracy is true.  |

Played for a while last night. Good storys so far, but the play is very similar to WoW or SWTOR. They did an awesome job on the environment, but so far I'm not thinking this one will hold my attention long.

Not seeing the WoW / SWTOR play style. I'd stay move of a Fallen Earth / Matrix. I was expecting graphics and world similar to AoC since its a Funcom game. I did get a pre-order and plan to start as Illuminati. Can't really say much more that for now. |

I played the beta some last night. Looks like it could be a fun game. I like the story/setting a lot. If it were free to play I would buy it in a heartbeat. Don't know if it will be worth paying $$ each month to play.

Don't know if it will be worth paying $$ each month to play. Apparently you can upgrade your account to a lifetime membership for about $200. Been to busy to try the beta today, but I'll try it this weekend, and then if I'll probably buy the game and give it a month to decide if I want to pony up the extra $200. |

Wow, I did not know that. I don't think it will be ready. As the game currently stands, I will not be buying it. The only way I'll change my mind is if it improves a lot over the course of those 6 weeks. It has a great setting and the story seems good so far, but it lacks refinement. |

Too many people complaining over a game because it's not what "they envisioned." This is why we never can have nice things. Too many people bitching lol. "Hurry up and release it, hurry up give me beta access, hurry up." Rushed products always are a lot less awesome than finished ones. |

I'm the problem with games today ?
what lunacy that is Take D3 right now This has been one of if not the greatest example of how NOT to do a release in recent memory Blizzard can't keep the servers running for over 3 hours Secret World - again nifty idea Graphics looked pretty good But gameplay - horrible sure you could say that well the beta weekend wasn't supposed to have much content in it I can buy that but the actual gameplay sucked HARD |
