The last week of gaming for me has consisted of forays
in  target="_blank">Runescape
(or Runescape 2
in its current incarnation) and  href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/taxonomy/term/721"
target="_blank">Secret
of the Solstice. It’s amazing that a title as
old as Runescape
(happy belated eighth birthday!) still enjoys such a large player base,
but it’s easy to understand the game’s huge success after only a few
minutes of gameplay. I hope to talk more about that soon. style="font-style: italic;">Secret of the Solstice delivers
an experience that almost feels hack and slash. I’ll finally be ready
to talk about that next week, but first I’ll be bringing a review of
another F2P title that spent a lot of time on this list. Stay tuned!
