When it comes to vast, kingdom-spanning ambition, you can't do better than Microsoft's Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. Microsoft went all out to create this real-time strategy game, and it fairly hums with gorgeous graphics, sophisticated AI, and challenging scenarios for the novice and experienced player alike. The point of the game is to shepherd your fledgling civilization to world domination, using war, trade, and exploration. You start with the bare minimum to get going, and you've got to balance your people's needs with your desire to be a little Napoleon. The Age of Kings gives you a ton of new units and technologies to enrich your strategic options. Each scenario is placed accurately within history, but you're also free to create your own. Less

Pros Everything.. knights, castles.. what more do ya want?
Cons Takes over your life!
Recommended it? Yes

Yeah. So I know this has over three hundred reviews already, and I likely won't add anything Earth shattering to any of those, but sometimes you run across something that you just have to write about. Age Of Empires II is just such a game.

Apparently, we've had this game for quite some... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I don't have many hobbies- I prefer to waste my spare time watching television but last year I discovered two activities that have taken up hours upon hours of my time. The first of these "obsessions" is Epinions and the second is a computer game called Age of Empires 2 (AOE2).

Pros Good graphics, Straight to the action.
Cons This game requires an intensive computer to run, even on minimum.
Recommended it? Yes

Company of Heroes is one of those games that can alter a genre, like what Half-Life did to FPS games. The game throws in many aspects from the nomenclature RTS by having capture points (to gain resources), reinforcing units when they are depleted, giving you general powers to use, etc.
This is... Read full review »

14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Graphics, sound, and replay value is high.
Cons Connections get lost alot during Multiplayer.
Recommended it? Yes

Obviously you are reading this review because you MUST like RTS games and therefore are wondering if this RTS with only 2 sides is worth buying.

In one word, yes.

Mainly because it has elements that no other RTS has ever had. What it lacks in other areas it makes up for in... Read full review »
