BY CROM! The video game Conan from THQ, being developed for Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360, is shaping up to be quite a game. Players will be taking control of Conan the Cimmerian, the baddest barbarian in modern fiction. Conan, the brain child of Robert E. Howard, has spawned three movies, three television shows, and two comic books. He was depicted as a headstrong and stubborn, yet honorable barbarian.

In true Conan fashion, you will not be arguing with words; you will be showing all those who oppose you the business end of your sword. This action-adventure game has Conan pitted against a variety of enemies and an elusive power that threatens to consume the world. This battle will be spread across the entire Hyborian world, letting Conan cut a wide swathe of destruction through each realm. Check out the game features directly below to see what's in store for you:

Conan game features
  • Conan features intense action combat: Playing as Conan, players will utilize a deep combat system that offers a variety of fighting styles to battle enemies. Through multiple movement trees, players can string together combos and fight foes using grappling moves, hand-to-hand combat, sword fights and dual-wielded attacks.
  • Play Conan in interactive environments: Interactive combat locations and real-time physics will allow players to pick up any weapons in sight, such as swords, axes, spears and torches, and use surrounding environmental elements to inflict damage on enemies.
Because several of us are avid Conan fan, we will be looking out for this game when it's released, although we advise the rest to wait for more details before laying judgement on the game though.
