The Secret World Relaunching As Free To Play Game

Several years ago, Funcom, the creators of Anarchy Online and Dark Age of Conan, created one of the most innovative Massively Multi-player Role Playing Games in The Secret World. That game had some problems, but also had one of the most unique gameplay loops, with genuinely interesting detective missions as well as your regular MMO fare, all set in an extremely unique backdrop of secret societies and things that go bump in the night.

Now they have decided that there is a lot to love in that game, but that maybe they did a few things wrong and maybe got a little too “out there” with some of the gameplay aspects, such as no levels or classes. Well now they have gone back to the drawing board and have fixed a lot of that games issues, and along the way decided to make it free to play in Secret World Legends.

Now anyone can go to their website, download Secret World Legends and enjoy, what is in my opinion, one of the best, most often overlooked MMO’s that has now been made even better.

10 Minutes of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Gameplay – #E32017

On By RicoIn Game Videos, Games, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One1 Comment

Check out 10 minutes from Koji Igarashi’s CastleVania inspired game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I didn’t have a chance to play Bloodstained at E3 but I’m super excited as I’m a huge CastleVania fan. Its been too long since a good side scrolling CastleVania has been released. The only bad news is that this game is still a long ways out and isn’t expected to be released until some time in 2018.

My E3 2017 Photo Gallery

On By RicoIn Games, News, Podcast1 Comment


So the dust has settled and another E3 is in the books. This year for me though was a true whirlwind of excitement and emotions. What started as a long shot last minute trip, made entirely possible by strangers on the internet I was able to go and have one of the best con experiences of my life. With a shit load of luck and less than a weeks notice I was at the gaming worlds mecca once again. Not only did I play an insane amount of games, I met some new and amazing friends along the way. Here are just a few pics I snapped while I was down there.

Thanks again to @Wario64 for basically getting me a badge and Jim Hale for scoring me accommodations. Without either of your help I would of never made it there.
