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

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...

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).

How do you follow the best-selling game of all time? Easy: make a sequel that's the same, but better. That's exactly what the Maxis team did with Sims 2, and the result is easily one of the top titles of...

Pros
Rich Graphics, Detail, Sound, Hours of Gameplay
Cons
Slow load times.
Recommended it?
Yes
From time to time, we all here the phrase, "There's no need to reinvent the wheel!" or "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." Apparently Maxis, thinks outside the box, and beyond the norm and has decided to reinvent it's hit game "The Sims" with it's new offering "The Sims 2".
