The new Fantasy Online RPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is out on the PC and its turned out to be quite a good game. The game is quite mature and based on bit more violent game play as compared to other fantasy games. The game play also introduces a more interactive way of combat rather than just selecting a move from list of moves then clicking with the mouse on it we have to perform those moves by making a proper combination. The Age of Conan has provided beautiful landscapes with lush green grass and corpses lying all over giving a complete mature look. Here is a video review of the Game to let you see everything for your self.
