Conan hates magic. That game was not only more derivative of God of War than Spawn Armageddon was of Devil May Cry, but it kinda deviated farther from the actual Conan mythos than God of War did from the actual Greek mythology.
Characters like Kratos, Conan, and Beowulf, they're all part of a similar category of psychotically brutal supermen who manandle beasts at least five times their size with as little as their bare hands.
But yeah, this thread doesn't really count.
