Introduction

In Microsoft's Age of Empires (developed by Ensamble Studios), you are charged with the daunting task of building your own empire. This requires a balance of many factors, and with many things to be done you will find yourself needing to do a bit of micro management. If you... Read full review »

Recently receiving Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome expansion disc was a welcome surprise. Having played the original Age of Empires virtually non-stop for the past three months I was thrilled to try something new. With very few games in my collection and a preference for real-time strategy... Read full review »

Pros THE RTS game for Lord of the Rings fans.
Cons Medieval Total War is better if you want to pull off complex battle strategy.
Recommended it? Yes
