  Earlier this month, GameSpot editors named Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures the best massively multiplayer game of E3 2006.

• Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Updated Impressions
  

  We concluded our tour of the world of Hyboria with an example of the game's large-scale "massive combat" system, which will include elements of real-time strategy.

  Does a secondhand account based on hearsay mean the game is coming to the console? Answer: No. But it certainly raises the tantalizing possibility that it might.

  Powerpoints - Imagine an MMO achievements system where you can use the achievements you've earned to buy new weapons and armor. That's exactly what this planned update is all about.
