'Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures', winner of multiple E3 awards as
the best game in its genre and one of the most anticipated PC games

In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost
civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has
finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conan's rule is on
the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils. In
this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurk around
every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique
destiny under Conan's reign. In the true vision of Robert E. Howard's
dark universe it's now time for you to become a messenger of death.
