Conan, The 'B-List,' and the Gaming Industry
There's a fun article over at the Escapist talking about the B-list in games, film, and other entertainment (looking in particular at Conan, both the original pulp fiction incarnation and the 2007 game from Nihilistic); the author's contention is that game developers don't really 'get' the B-list, and why people turn to B entertainment for, well, entertainment. Of course, video games suffer from the odd conundrum of having too much money; most B entertainment manages decent returns on smaller budgets. But what about the pulp fiction/game divide? More »

Comment by tk.: "God Hand" was a B-list game IMO (although I never really got in to it). more » | Other threads

Schwarzenegger Wants No Part of Conan Game
Arnold Schwarzenegger is no fan of violent video games, so we wouldn't expect him to endorse any video game that included swords slicing through endless enemies...unless such a game were, I dunno, based largely on a movie character he once played. More »

Week in Games: Decisions, Decisions Edition
So many good games coming out this week I'm afraid my bank account is going to take quite a beating. Eye of Judgment, Zak and Wiki, Ratchet & Clank, Jericho and Castlevania are all on my short list of games to get this week although one or two of them may have to wait until the cash magically replenishes itself.

PGR4 and F.E.A.R. Files Demos Hit Live
Xbox 360 owners are swimming in demos this week. Following up on yesterday's release of The Simpsons Game and Conan demos, the Marketplace welcomes two newcomers, Project Gotham Racing 4 and F.E.A.R. Files: Extraction Point, the latter of which I really enjoy typing. PGR4 is fortunately available worldwide and weighs in at 1.27 GB, so clean your internet pipes for maximum downloadiness. The demo features three cars, two bikes, and two tracks. That's value. More »

Conan and The Simpsons Dueling Demos
Two new demos are ready for your downloading pleasure on an Xbox 360 near you this morning. First we have Nihilistic's Conan, not to be confused with the Funcom MMO Age of Conan, a single-player game that puts you in the furry boots of fantasy's greatest barbarian as he struggles against an elusive evil power, using weapons, wrestling moves, and magic for some god awful reason. If 483 MB of blood and gore aren't your thing, try 442 MB of fun and frivolity as Homer and Bart team up to take down Lard Lad in The Simpsons Game demo, sure to be chock-full of hilarious sound bytes that quickly become annoying after the third or fourth repeat. Just guessing there, mind you, as the demo is still slowly making it's way over the intertubes to my game box, and the PS3 kids seemed to like it when they got it last week, so who knows? Go forth and judge for yourself.

The Other Upcoming Conan Game
We all know about the upcoming Conan MMO from Funcom, but what if you want all of that hickory-smoked Conan flavor without all of the LFG ASAP LOL ROFLCOPTERing you'd get with a massively multiplayer dealio? THQ proposes an answer for all of you misanthropic barbarians out there, officially announcing a next-generation Conan action game for the PS3 and 360, promising "a story of epic brutality, sheer evil and visceral combat." Sounds like Conan all right. Along with the official press release issued today, the latest issue of Game Informer has info and screens of the upcoming title, which they liken to God of War, complete with huge bosses, 100 combat moves, 20 weapons, and an AI that learns how you play and takes steps to defend against it.
