If there's any game likely to remove GTA IV from the top of the German charts, it's a PC game, and Age of Conan has gone and done it.
Funcom's Hyborian Adventures went and nabbed the number one chart slot from Rockstar in both Germany and Sweden, sending GTA IV to number two in the territories.

Funcom announced today that the massively multiplayer world of Conan - based on the barbarian created by Robert E. Howard - will be coming to the Xbox 360.
When Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures arrives next year, you'll be able to haul any woman into the jungle to live the drunken, womanizing, homicidal life of Conan. Although we don't have a confirmed release date, Funcom has confirmed that it wont be until after the PC version (currently between March and May of 2007). Countless
Eidos is keen to show off the visuals of its DirectX 10-based action-RPG, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, on the way to PC and Xbox 360. This footage gives you a scenic fly-through of a town called Khemi - a dusty town near a stretch of water, in what the trailer proudly boasts to be "in-game" graphics.

It's clear, after viewing the latest trailer from Funcom's Age of Conan, that the developer is pulling out all the stops to create one of the most visually impressive environments ever seen in the massively multiplayer online RPG genre.

It's a world, and a character, with an instantly familiar atmosphere. It's perfect for an MMO - a genre that lives or dies on the appeal and magnetism of its world.

Funcom has delayed the release of brutal MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures from October to March 25, 2008.
Feedback from the beta seems to be the main culprit for the delay. But that's what a beta's for. Both firms say setting a new date means Funcom can continue to focus on "honing, polishing and improving the heralded qualities" of the
