If you’ve been waiting around to dive into an MMO, but haven’t because you hate fantasy worlds and nothing else has piqued your interest then take a gander at the video above. Doesn’t look like many other MMOs does it? That isThe Secret World, a modern day MMO about monsters attacking our world, and that is also the first time we’ve seen gameplay for it.

Seriously, what else do you need? “N+ takes all the great elements of the flash game, from the amazing acrobatics to the simple-but-fast gameplay, and adds an impressive set of new features,” said Stephen Baer, senior global product manager, Atari, Inc....

Today is that day, with an App that can only be described as the very best of a very bad lot.Rappin’ Granny(iOS) is only here becauseEpic Dragon(iOS) has zero production value and ripped off its characters from Final Fantasy.
