In the online role-playing game The Secret World all your worst fears are now walking nightmares. Back in the action, the first fight went off without a hitch, with the tank initiating the fight and the support characters bringing up the rear. Now, the characters had to hop from island to island if they wanted to avoid a deadly shock. Our Funcom pilots then skipped ahead in the demo to the dungeon's first boss encounter. To help even the odds, our character called up her skill wheel, which was a series of concentric circles. Each circle was divided into different sections, each tied to one of The Secret World's roughly 500 skills. Our hero switched out her melee-centric skills for some magical spells to deal with the upcoming threat.
Back in the battle, the crab-man fought in phases, alternating between attacking the group directly and hiding underwater to let his zombie minions do the dirty work. After sending the monster low, our character spied a glowing green crate inside a shipping container. Remember those explosive pods? The Secret World is showing a lot of promise, especially with its incorporation of alternate-reality gaming elements. Its release date, however, remains a well-guarded secret.
