Conan Crushes GTA!
Who could have ever thought we'd see the day when the almighty Grand Theft Auto would be surpassed by a MMORPG? To make things even more interesting, it's about the latest game in the series, GTA IV, the best seller of the series, so far, and the long-awaited MMORPG Age of Conan, which has debuted in the top position of sales charts all over Europe, and where it missed the first place, it still managed to arrive ahead of Rockstar Games' masterpiece!

<-180x150 Small Rectangle - left->Before moving on to the charts, I have to confess something. You know what I like best about Age of Conan? Take a look at the picture above, and you'll see. Finally, we have a MMORPG where the female characters are going beyond the beautiful priestess/cute warrior, now we finally have chicks that KILL, in any way you want to take it! Compared to GTA IV, no matter what kind of adult patches are going to appear for that one, Age of Conan's chicks RULE!
Now, off to the charts we go, so let's see how are things looking, according to next-gen.biz)!

Say whaaat? Incredible! A few days ago, I was checking the Age of Conan website, and noticed that the Collector's Edition became sold out already. Fortunately, I found it in a local store the next day. Unfortunately, I had no money (to be read as "I am afraid of losing all the contact with the real life if I start playing," but lack of funds is always a good excuse), so I will remain away from the Hyborian realms for a while...
At last, what about you? Did you get your hands on Age of Conan yet? What do you think? Can we give it the "Game of the Year" crown already, or should we wait until 2008 ends?
