Title: Age of Empires, anyone?
Post by: Eizweir on November 10, 2007, 09:25:50 PM
Probably the best Microsoft games ever, the Age of Empire games are a real-time strategy war game.  You need stock your resources, build a town, advance in ages, stock more resources, build your empire, stock more resources, and then crush your enemy.  Sweet isn't it?  You can get the game for PC at Gamestop I think.  I know I saw the third one there.  Anyways, anyother fans here?

AOEII is my favorite.  They really refined the first game to near perfection in an RTS.  However, I would have liked more emphasis on the economic side of the game.

msn doesn't do it anymore, but another place does.  That new place is just too confusing though :|

Oh, the AoE games are great. I've spent lots of time on AoEII, oh, and Age of Mythology, that was a great game, but not so much on AoEIII... I don't like it as much.

That also reminds me...

Rise of Nations, anyone?
