    Amazing Next-Gen RPGn'

    Right as you step into the World of Hyboria, all the elements of Conan's Lore is right there in your face. Every little detail in the environment, character models, music, combat, gore, (and even more gore), is there just waiting for you to interact with it.

    For the first 20 levels or so, you are fighting to save a corrupt pirate haven name Tortage. You start off as a slave, but once you help a bunch of needy townsfolk, you quickly gain respect and even greater rewards. The beginning single-player missions were sort of tedius for MMO veterans, but the the quest rewards weren't too shabby.

    Once you get to your homeland, you really get a ton of freedom handed to you. You can pretty much travel to any major city right of the bat. Quests will help you guide your character around Hyboria; which is a big help because the map is pretty huge. Tradeskills are there, but you really can only gather resources at the beginning, and no crafting till maybe 40 or so.

    The game runs pretty smooth on my computer, but you may have to upgrade to get the full effect of all its glory. Running around and killing creatures, monsters, and other enemy players is hugely satisfying (especially the FATALITIES). Whether you are new to MMOs or a veteran player, you owe yourself to check out this great next-gen action-adventure.

      Well I went into Age Of Conan with a set of high hopes, this game looked to be the mmo I would be with for years to come, the World Of Warcraft killer, that one perfect game I could come back to over and over without thinking "Why am I playing this" well I was half right, the game does start off quite well, but soon declines into a rocky shit mudslide in which it can`t stop, an avalanche of bug, glitches and unfinished rushed work. Maybe it was my hype that killed it, maybe it was me believing t...

      Do babarian's keep their promises? 0

      In the Year 4 after World of Warcraft, the online community is still waiting for a game to break WoW's dominance. On the first look Age of Conan seems to be a promising contestant: It combines great graphics, a slightly action-oriented Gameplay and a more mature backdrop, that should differ enough to attract those players, that either never got into WoW or are already bored of it.  The question is if it will be able to deliver on this promise.On the technical side, there isn't much to complain. ...
