Oct 23, 2007 Ah, the age of Conan. A time when men were men, women were all gagging for it and evil sorcerers were busy ruining everyones fun with their nefarious machinations. Welcome to Hyboria; better have an oiled blade and a bumper box of elastoplasts at the ready... because youre sure as hell gonna need them. For starters, well come out like the Conasexuals we are and declare our undying love for all things Cimmerian. This king of the barbarians is one mighty piece of property. Hes a ...

Sept 19, 2007 Over the past few weeks, we've shown you all kinds of bloody horror that Conan the Barbarian can unleash on pirates, bandits and assorted ancient-world thugs in his self-titled slash 'em-up, due to hit stores this October. You've seen what he's capable of when he's wielding a small, ordinary sword, a pair of swords and a really, really big sword. But the true measure of a rampaging badass isn't what he can do when he's holding a sharp chunk of metal. It's whether or not he can ...   » Read Full Conan preview

Sep 12, 2007
Sept 12, 2007 Can Conan the Barbarian still resonate with today's gamers? The minds over at publisher THQ certainly seem to think so, as they're rolling out the 75-year-old license this October in the simply-named Conan - a barrel-chested, hyper-manly slash 'em-up that completely ignores the silly Schwarzenegger movies and rips its inspiration, bleeding and raw, from the original novels by Robert E. Howard. Voiced by Ron Perlman and scripted by Susan O'Connor (who also wrote the script for ...   » Read Full Conan preview

Sep 5, 2007
Sept 5, 2007 Conan the Barbarian's gruesome, self-titled comeback is lumbering into stores this October, and it's easily one of the most visceral games we've ever played. Bloodier and more savage than God of War (and yet oddly similar, from a gameplay standpoint), Conan keeps the blood spurting at a steady clip throughout his pirate-crushing, monster-skewering romp through the ancient world of Hyboria. Severing limbs, chopping enemies in half and ripping out intestines with his bare hands, ...   » Read Full Conan preview

The granddaddy of fantasy fiction flexes his muscle
Jul 2, 2007
Are you ready to pump? Thats the question you need to ask yourself if you want to mix it up with Conan and the muscular creations of the Hyborian age. Though not based on the Arnie movies from the eighties, this more authentic-feeling game does pack in the meat. Entirely based on the pulp books written by Robert E. Howard, Conan was always on the darker side of fantasy fiction; a character driven by greed and ambition over any righteous desire to save the ...   » Read Full Conan preview
Conan
Busy year for the Cimmerian head-lopper
May 4, 2007
Aside from the odd flicker of graphical dodginess (to be forgiven in such a massive, not-finished MMORPG world), the only current flaw we could locate in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures was that you wouldn't be able to play as Conan himself. Luckily, the 75th anniversary of the publication of his very first adventure has inspired a whole heap of barbarous activity, so it looks likely that THQ's far more straightforward hack-'n'-slash adventure will fill the gap ...   » Read Full Conan preview
