The good folks over at Hooked Gamers have posted a review on the wildly popular and fast-selling Age of Conan. Here's a taste of what they had to say:

Testosterone

When most people think fantasy, Robert E. Howard’s Hyboria probably isn’t the first setting that springs to mind, and all’s the more unfortunate for that. With the MMORPG market saturated with Tolkien-inspired settings, less the expertly crafted mythology and cultural diversity, a game that features a setting that speaks to the manliness in each of us, even the women-folk, has been long overdue. Fortunately for our testosterone-deprived selves, Funcom has deigned to answer our calls for help with the release of their latest MMO, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

So why should you spend your money on Age of Conan with so many other online experiences vying for your income? Well, aside from the aforementioned manliness, of which this game exudes, Age of Conan has been able to break out of much of the usual MMO rigmarole to provide its players with one of the most engaging experiences the genre has had for some time. Age of Conan manages to make its players feel more like some legendary hero, some unstoppable force of nature, better than any MMO to date. With a plotline that truly centers itself on the player’s chosen avatar and a combat system that exists to do away with the whole notion of auto-attacking, few MMOs are as immersive as Age of Conan.
