Hack and Slash Galore

* Edited to correct spelling - Jimbo (there's a red line under the words for a reason...)

Just saw on Games Radar that The Conan Demo is available on Xbox Live. I shall have to download that and have a go. Apparently it comes with a limited number of the moves that will be available in the full game but there's still enough to satisfy anyone's bloodlust.

The only game I can think to compare it to for the bloodlust it will invoke is Barbarian from off the Amiga, who else remembers the decapitation finishing move? A little guy came on to drag the body away and kicked the head of the screen :D From what ive seen of Conan there is that, plus a whole lot more.

In short I am really looking forward to this one, lets hope it doesn't disappoint.

That was the only way to play the game in Barbarian, just keep pressing back and fire, back and fire. Eventually it connected. A bit like IK+ and punching them in the nuts to make their trousers fall down.
