Conan: The Dark Axe [Beta & Concept] — PS2/Xbox/Gamecube/PC

Conan: The Dark Axe was a fun action-adventure game based on the iconic Conan franchise. You played as the legendary barbarian as he slashed and clashed with enemies of all sizes, and rose victorious like he always does. Unlike the 2007 Conan game, this one didn’t play like a copy of God of War or Devil May Cry. It felt unique with all its pros and cons. Looking back, this game excelled in several areas over the 2007 Conan iteration by THQ.

Below, we can see a couple of beta images and concept artwork showing some of the changes.

Spawn: Armageddon [PS2/Xbox/GameCube] – Beta

Spawn: Armageddon is a relatively fun action-adventure game based on Todd McFarlane’s iconic Spawn comic book. The game adapts from issues 1 to 99 of the Spawn comic book series. However, before the game’s final release, we can notice a few differences from the E3 2003 preview trailer of the game.

The differences are as follows:

  • Different HUD (Guns, Necroplasm, HP)
  • Different healing pick-up up icons
  • Different Spawn attacks
  • Different gun sfx
  • Guns make some enemies float in the air (similar to DMC 2)
  • Visuals are slightly different
