I don't know if you guys play MMOs, but for those of you who do and who dig the Lovecraft vibe, The Secret World is looking interesting.

Well, the trailer is somewhat reminiscent of Brian's ZRPG (or, in terms of Lovecraft's work, Herbert West - Reanimator rather than the mythos).
I looked up some information on the game before because of the suggested link to the Longest Journey (apparently, there is none apart from Tørnquist being the creative director) and for what it's worth, it struck me like a horror/conspiracy theory theme park (Templars, Illuminati, vampires...). Not that it can't turn out good, but I'm hardly holding my breath.

It is supposed to have some Lovecraftian elements. Art from the game has included a Christmas card that includes a zombie wearing a tee-shirt for a sports team called the "Innsmouth Devils". The thing is, it plans to blend Lovecraft with conspiracy theories, ordinary supernatural, and world mythology.
