Oh, my, there are so many games being announced these days, there's only one problem remaining. In fact, three: not enough time to try them all, and - at least for some - not having a computer good enough to run them properly. Well, you can also say "not having the right console," that starts to become more of a reality with each new console exclusive game being released. Fortunately, Demigod is available only for Windows PC, so that should be all right...

Here's the official story of the game, because I couldn't tell you anything better to start with:

"Set in a magical world where gods walk among mortals, Demigod blends action, strategy and role-playing elements into a thrilling new experience. Select the Demigod that will lead your minions into battle and unleash the dogs of war against your rivals. Your Demigod will do whatever it takes in order to ascend to true godhood.<-125x125 Button - right->

Once in the Arena, each Demigod will be joined by support troops that fight to the death as you struggle to seize key control points and slowly turn the tide of war in your favor. And your Demigod will level up during the course of each battle, becoming even more powerful as you unlock new abilities and powers.

It's a brutal conflict of Demigod versus Demigod, where the very ground beneath their feet will tremble and quake."

The big news is not that the game is coming in Spring, but that the limited beta test period has just started, and the game can be pre-ordered already! All you need to do is pre-order, and you can start testing the exclusive beta right away.

Even this way, we're talking about a limited time offer, which will expire on the 19th of September. The pricing is $44.95 for the digital download version, and $49.95 + S&H for the download + retail box one.

If Funcom doesn't ring a bell, you don't have to worry - I can remember at least 20 great games I played at any time, but I will only remember half of those games' producers, the most. Anyway, I am sure Age of Conan must ring a bell to most people who have no idea what "Funcom" stands for. Unfortunately, it seems we're going to talk about "Funcom in trouble" today, and here's why...

Back when the Age of Conan digital download became available, I was thrilled, because I was sure more people would rush in, especially those who weren't able to buy a retail version at all. On the other side, a 15GB download isn't exactly something to be taken lightly, but the problem is not distributing a very large file over the Internet. Funcom's problem is that, after 16 years, the co-founder of the company, producer and game director decided to leave.<-250x250 Square - right->

That's Funcom in trouble, all right, and this is what Gaute Godager said: "I have done my very best making this fabulous game, but I have concluded there are elements which I am dissatisfied with. I have decided to act on this, and as a result I have chosen to leave Funcom." If you ask me, this would have been a reason to stay and make a better game, and not leave, but this is the man's decision, and I think everyone should respect it. I am sure he didn't decide this after thinking about it for 2 minutes...

His place will be taken by Craig Morrison, previously producer and game director for Anarchy Online, and also an ex-Telegraph and IGN staff member, who said "My main priority now is therefore to listen to, and act on, player concerns, while ensuring we add additional great content to the game. At heart I will always be a gamer, and the coming changes and additions to Conan will always be done with the gamers in mind. Together I am certain we will shape an amazing future for Age of Conan."

It's good to hear that. After all, Age of Conan is a great achievement, despite its issues. If everything works well, I am sure that next year we'll talk about Funcom in trouble thinking about those early days when Age of Conan was only a shadow of what has become...and Gaute Godager, a sailor who shouldn't have left the boat, but that's what time will decide!

Without any doubt, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a great game. If you have a computer capable of running it properly, this game is "a must," no matter if you're a fan of the FPS genre or not. Anyway, if your computer is very old, you can try running one of the older games in the series, like the first one, a game I'll always remember. After all, people are still looking for Call of Duty cheats, so it's not THAT OLD, don't you think? All right, let's move to Call of Duty 6, now.

While Call of Duty 5 still needs to be released, and it doesn't have any release date announced yet, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick confirmed that what's in store after Call of Duty: World at War will arrive in retail stores during 2009. Well, I guess that's going to be the end of my current computer...or not, if they optimize the game as well as they did with Call of Duty 4!<-125x125 Button - right->

Currently, Treyarch are taking the Call of Duty series back to WWII with the forthcoming World at War I mentioned above. They are those who previously worked on the third game of the franchise, so we should also have high expectations from Call of Dutty 5. Hey, what am I saying here? Call of Duty has always been a game that I expected much from, and I never got disappointed.

Drawing the line, it seems we'll have Call of Duty 5 in a few months, and Call of Duty 6 is thought to be placed in a futuristic landscape, but that's not something confirmed just yet. If you ask me, I would enjoy to be a crossbowman in the Medieval times, but that would surely take us way off the concept of the "Call of Duty" franchise...or not?
