Review copies of Conan were sent to various video game journalist this week and the consensus view is one of amazement. Not on whether the game is good or bad, but the direction of the game. Early in the game's development it was believed Conan would be about Conan the Barbarian, however what materialized is much different. Conan is based on NBC Late Night host Conan O'Brien.

This news came as a shock to people who were looking forward to a game where they can finally senselessly beat people. This was also a shock to loyal fans of Late Night, and even Obrien's fan club. Fan club President Chris Meyers said, "I want to have Conan's love child." When pressed for further comment, Chris kept on repeating his previous comment.

Mr O'Brien released this comment earlier today:"Wow, this came completely out of the blue. I had no idea that NBC had commissioned a full, complete, and competent game based on me. I just hope my pale skin doesn't blow out the screens of every television it is played on."

Many other Late Night regulars populate this game. Joel Goddard, Mark Pender, The Masturbating Bear, The FedEx Pope, Jimmy Vivino, The Evil Puppy, James Lipton, and Max Weinberg. Two versions of Bruce Springsteen also make an appearance in this game, 80's Bruce and Old Bruce.

Conan: Chronicles of a Tall, Weak, Pale Manchild will be available soon in stores nationwide for $60, or at the NBC store at 30 Rockefeller Center for $100.
