    Which one of these should I buy? I plan on purchasing one of these games along with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sometime this week and I want to know which one is worth buying.

    Well, Conan is way better than Leno... so it's obvious, ain't it?

    Why are you so desperate to own a generic, kind of crappy low-fantasy God of War knock-off?

    I would have to say Viking.  I own both Conan and Viking but I enjoyed playing Viking more.  I really like the big open areas in Viking and the quest stuff.  If you can get by hitting the X-Button a lot then I would say Viking.

    Conan is a really fun God of War knock off considering the price.

    Conan's pretty solid. I'd go with that.

    I picked up Conan for 15 bucks at Best Buy a couple months ago. Probably the best 15 dollar game I've ever played. I may carry a bit of a bias, though. Robert E. Howard is one of my favorite authors, and I don't even really like fantasy. Conan (the character) fucking rocks, and the game captures a bit of that essence.

    Conan is a solid action game with a lot of variation to your attacks as well as defense. I like Viking a lot but it's less an action game and more a stealth game which is somewhat odd considering what a big burly guy you play. So if you want a solid brawling game in which you wade into groups of bad guys hacking and slashing and reversing and maiming then go for Conan. Viking has a bit more atmosphere, is quite a bit less linear, and the big battles at the cities are pretty damn epic, but you have to be a bit more careful as you will be mauled if you wade into your foes and so you'll end up slowly circling encampments and slowly picking off everyone until just a handful of core warriors remain to finish off.

    None really...but out of all of them I'd say Conan has the ability to be the most fun for the longest time before getting boring as shit. Beowulf doesn't even come close...its like a 1/10 quality game.

    Viking is actually a surprisingly good game. I'd say it's the best of them. It can get a little repetitive by the end, but the free-roaming action, great art-style and the huge battles are fun as hell. Conan's only advantage is breasts.
