   You can literally count all the upcoming Xbox 360 MMO games on the fingers of one hand (or foot, if you prefer), and adding one more today doesn't really change the fact that the Xbox 360 and the massively-multiplayer online genre don't go together well. But nevertheless, developer and publisher Funcom is very happy to announce that their Age of Conan MMORPG has been approved for Microsoft's Xbox 360, and they will begin production of the console version on the double.
"The announcement means that the highly anticipated Massively Multiplayer Online game (MMO) has received the green light from Microsoft, and that Funcom can start official development of an Xbox 360 version of the game.

"This is a groundbreaking leap forward for Funcom. The fact that we now get the chance to develop 'Age of Conan' for the Xbox 360 means access to a potentially whole new and large MMO market", said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. "The fast-paced and innovative combat system in 'Age of Conan' will suit the demanding console audience perfect. We believe the amazing online capabilities of Xbox 360 will be a great match for MMOs like 'Age of Conan', and as one of a handful officially approved MMO games for the console we aim to create a unique, brutal and powerful online gaming experience."    Information about publisher, release date and potential console specific features will be revealed on another occasion, as Funcom starts production of the Xbox 360 version of Age of Conan. In the meantime, they would very much like us to keep in mind that "the Windows version of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a Showcase title for Windows Vista, and the game won "Best MMO of E3" awards from IGN, GameSpot, GameSpy and Yahoo. The game was a runner-up to the "Most Innovative Game of Show" E3 award from Gamespot, and PC Gamer US named it as one of their top 10 most anticipated PC games".

   I'll keep that in mind while waiting for my Burning Crusade pre-order.
