Abstract: While we've been patiently waiting for Funcom's ambitious MMORPG Age of Conan to arrive, THQ and developer Nihilistic have snuck in like a Hyborian thief in the night with their own barbarian-boasting game, aptly and simply titled Conan. A licensed game a...
Abstract: There's something about the Conan franchise that brings a smile to my face without fail. The sheer testosterone-fueled, immature male fantasy aspect of it all is certainly worth a chuckle. Conan is not a sophisticated man, but then, males generally ar...

Abstract: VIDEO: Head over to our videos page to check out all Conan footage!You hear it all the time when someone discusses clones: "Is more God of War a bad thing?" And no, it wouldn't be -- at least, to a certain point -- but that question assumes so much abo...
