The Waiting is the Most Barbaric Part

Age of Conan ran into delays on its way to release.
If you're a little depressed about the release date of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures being pushed back to May 20, we feel for you. Waiting for a game that's been delayed is kind of like waiting for the Superbowl during the off week. The TV news is inundated with stories about where Tom Brady ate last night, or about how Eli Manning looks like Moose from the Archies comics. And Sunday afternoon football is replaced with professional bowling and figure skating — not that there's anything wrong with that — it's just different.

So you were looking forward to some brutal combat and pillaging this March, but now your choices in March include caring for pet rabbits and singing like an American Idol — not that there's anything wrong with that — it's just different. Nobody's going to come charging in on a war mammoth while you're performing Unchained Melody.

We're sure they delay will be worth the wait, and we'll let you know if Conan is spotted in the East Village with a supermodel. In the meantime, you can occupy yourself by fitting your dog with custom armor or knitting your own Hyborian Drinking Cape.
It's Not Just Theft; It's GRAND Theft on April 29

Please obey all applicable traffic laws as you rush to reserve your copy of Grand Theft Auto IV.
We're not sure what the official difference between regular theft and grand theft is, but we're pretty sure grand theft involves wearing an ascot or a top hat.

With Rockstar Games' announcement of an April 29 in-store date for Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360 and PS3, we'll be able to research that theory this spring. When you pre-order your copy, you can choose between the standard Grand Theft Auto IV or the grand Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition.

The Special Edition will ship in a customized metal safety-deposit box containing the game itself in special packaging; a Grand Theft Auto IV art book, featuring never-before-seen production artwork; selected tracks by top artists from the official soundtrack; a limited-edition Rockstar Duffel bag; and a Rockstar keychain for holding the keys to your safety-deposit box. If the keys are shipped in the safety-deposit box, let's hope your box arrives unlocked, or you'll have to test some of your more dubious skills before you even start playing Grand Theft Auto IV.

Until April 29, keep a close eye on our Grand Theft Auto IV video trailers and screen shots to see if you can spot any formal evening wear.

Welcome to the gallery of our contest winners.
Click the picture for a larger view.
Break out the wine and cheese, or at least the Grape Fanta® and Cheez Its®, and take some time to appreciate the arts. We are proud to present the winners of our GameStop Activity Book Contest.

Our congratulations go to Grand Prize Winner Ryan B. of Eatons Neck, NY, who personally re-defined the genre of piñata coloring. Our compliments also go to the Runner-Up Winners Joseph E., Steven Y. and Alyssa B. Ryan was awarded a $50 GameStop Gift Card, and the Runners Up received $25 Gift Cards.

If your submission was not selected as a winner, don't be discouraged. We had so many great entries that it was hard to decide, but we had to pick somebody. So keep those creative juices flowing. Also, remember that many famous artists were not appreciated in their own lifetimes, like Van Gogh, Rembrandt and that guy who first painted dogs playing poker. Thank you for your entries, and we hope to do it again soon.
