Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures [PC]
A mix of a deep, story-driven single-player experience and a massive and brutal multiplayer end-game brings forth the ultimate representation of the Age...- Developer: Eidos Interactive
- Type: Action
- Publisher: Funcom
- Released: 20 May 2008
Price: NAFuncom's newest MMO is live, but is it worth your time? After numerous delays and mounting hype, Funcom's Age of Conan was finally released three weeks ago. Based on the fiction of early 20th century pulp writer Robert E. Howard, the new massively mutliplayer game is faithful to the source material, meaning that you'll be spending most of your time watching muscled brutes smashing and chopping their way through ranks of enemies.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 [PS3]
It's set to be one of the biggest selling games of all time. Is it one of the greatest?
Over the years the Call of Duty series has set the bar for immersive, action-packed, cinematic FPS gaming, and no matter what camp you're from there's no denying the franchise's influence on the industry. When Infinity Ward moved from the classic World War II setting and blazed new ground with Modern Warfare we saw the first obvious split within the world of Call of Duty. The series dropped its historic focus, created a new cast of characters, and began treading on new ground by taking the first-person shooter genre to new locales, and pushing the boundaries of what military games are willing to show. With Modern Warfare 2, the sheer amount of hype has been practically inescapable, with preorders alone setting it up as one of the biggest selling games of all time, the addition of even more multiplayer modes and features, and the game's new Special Operations mode has set Infinity Ward's lastest up as the game to beat this year.The real question: has it been worth the wait, and can Modern Warfare 2 live up to the precedent set by over half a decade of Call of Duty tradition?
