Age of Conan: The Ikea Adventures

PC Feature | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

Over Memorial Day weekend my girlfriend decided the shower curtain rings in our bathroom were the wrong color, which meant a trip to our local Ikea. Yes, I went too; I’m not completely whipped (yet), but going on couple-y expeditions like this buys me points that can be redeemed for several hours of uninterrupted gaming time that I can spend on my latest addiction, which at the moment happens to be Age of Conan.Thus, barbarian warriors ...

Funcom: From MMOGs, with love

360 Feature | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

With sci-fi massively multiplayer online game Anarchy Online already tucked under its belt, they're currently developing Age of Conan for PC and Xbox 360, and they recently announced The Secret World, raising an eyebrow when they said it's an MMOG that's going to be something completely different than what we're used to. Currently, the developer's keeping its lips firmly sealed where The Secret World is concerned, but with MMOGs ...
