thesecretworlddec

Gamespot’s hosting an exclusive look at the Scorched Desert in Funcom’s MMO, The Secret World.

Check out the video below.

Well, at least for Brenna, Pat and myself at any rate. We’ve no idea what Johnny’s stance on the matter is, but as long as he’s with us, he’s not against us. If things prove otherwise, we’ll have to take him down. Hard. The Secret World is expected in 2012.
