OT: Conan videogame

[SpydaWeb]

For those with a 360 and a LIVE account (silver/gold) - you can download the free playable demo of CONAN (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/82000.html). It features the voice of Ron Perlman as Conan.

Also available is the latest and most promising The Simpson Game (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25707.html).

Beta sign ups are also taking place for the PC Age of Conan.

Very cool-- thanks for the trailer, Spyda

Beta sign ups are also taking place for the PC Age of Conan.

I've kind of sworn off PC games for the time being. I caught the lengthy Developer panel discuss for the game last year at Dragon Con. I think they had a booth with playable stations this year too, but I didn't get a chance to stop over.

Age of Conan (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21429.html?type=flv) looks like it could be a good one though, the community buzz certainly suggests so.

I signed up for that beta months ago..it cannot come quickly enough..i'm almost bored with City of heroes.

[Jake Capps]

Thanks for the link Spyda. I will check it out. Did anyone see this?

Hellboy 360 to be released June 08. I guess they pushed it back to release with the movie. More time to tighten up that game play.

[SpydaWeb]

I don't know if those are "official" release dates.

I've already sent in my interview questions to Krome Studios so, we'll see if they can comment about the release date again. I won't be surprised if they direct me promptly to Konami.

[Jake Capps]

I wouldn't mind if they pushed it back. This fall has a ton of good games coming out. It would be nice to finally get a great game in the summer. I played the demo at SDCC, and thought it could use some refining. Let me know what you find out.

The Conan Demo is awesome!!

Mike, I'm taking a CoH break until issue 11, cause 11 looks insane!!!!

Here are a few extra exclamation points to show how excited I am: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




And four more for the homies that are no longer with us: !!!!

[Mike Cross]

T-Wyrm, what server do you normally play COH on? I got the heroes on Protector and the villains on Pinnacle

[Ken O]

All my characters are on Victory. I don't play alot normally, mostly when I travel for work. Gives me soemthing to do while living in a hotel.

[SpydaWeb]

Wow, mostly mediocre reviews for the Conan game. Apparently it doesn't live up to the taste we got in the demo. IGN says the game has the cheapest boss fight in recent memory (overly difficult).

IGN - 6.7
Gamespot - 6.9
1UP - 5.5

[Jake Capps]

Yeah this defiantly went from buy to rent.

[Jon D.]

yeah, probably just a 360 port for us PS3 owners anyways, I want to stick to exclusives for now.

[Ken O]

I'm sad it didn't do better, but with Mass Effect and Rock Band pre-ordered for next month my budget just breathed a sigh of relief.
