Video game maker THQ announced the availability of a playable demo of the new Conan game.

The Xbox 360 Conan free demo is now available at the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The Conan demo for the PS3 will appear on Wednesday October 11th on the PLAYSTATION Network.

Conan is an action adventure video game featuring a story of true evil and brutal, visceral combat. Inspired by Robert E. Howard's original stories, players will follow the journey of Conan the Cimmerian as he fights an epic battle against a variety of enemies and an elusive power that threatens to consume the Hyborian world.
Playing as Conan, players will take advantage of a deep and gratifying combat system that offers a variety of deadly weapons, fighting styles and interactive environments to battle hordes of enemies.

About the Conan playable demo:
In the Conan playable demo, the famed barbarian finds himself stranded in the Barachan Isles, a haven for pirates and thieves. A terrible plague known as the Black Death has spread across the land, and Conan must escape before it consumes him as well. Fortunately, Conan crosses paths with the beautiful and fearless warrior queen, A'Kanna, whose ship can provide safe passage from the cursed islands. However, Conan must first save the ship's crew, which has been enslaved by the local cutthroats. Players will take on the role of Conan as he unleashes his savagery against a horde of scurvy pirates. The demo will allow players to execute a portion of the game's 100+ fighting moves and combinations as Conan decimates his foes using a variety of deadly weapons, hand-to-hand combat, and even his surrounding environment.

Conan for Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 ships on October 23rd.
Conan for Xbox 360 sells for $56.99 on Amazon.com.
Conan for Sony PS3 sells for $56.99 on Amazon.com.

I still remember the Arnold Schwarzenegger Conan movies. Maybe this game is as hilarious.
