This game is an ultimate for military games. I think that the fact you can have control of William Wallace was enough to win over my affection. I especially enjoyed running my barbarians into the english castle and destroying the red coated scum!! No offense meant to the english but back then you were rather bad to the Scots. The detail ...  Read the complete review

I have never been a great fan of Real-Time Strategy games of the C&C clan. With many, I tend to find that a map is often won or lost on the basis of who can set up production fastest. Thus, even with a possibly superior strategy (both military and economy-wise), a slightly slower player would always be at a distinct disadvantage. A ...  Read the complete review

Microsoft's and Ensemble Studios smash hit is back, after too long and it's better than ever. Carrying on from the fall of the Roman Empire, Age of Kings picks up where it left over and plunges into the Dark Ages. You can progress through the Dark, Federal, Castle Ages and then finally into the Imperial Age. Though the basic ...  Read the complete review

Strategy and God games are a particular delight to play - they tend to have fairly limitless possibilities with regards to different attack and defencive combinations. Now, while Age of Empires II is not anything like as diverse as Civ II or Alpha Centauri or other more complex games, it has a lot to recommend it. The premise ...  Read the complete review

This is my getting a bit annoyed with all the hype about Age of Empires 2, i think this game is one of the worst god games ever made, yes maybe it seems alright to start of with but after you see games like Red Alert 2, Cossacks and Sudden strike i start to wonder why this game is made out to be so good! This game offers no ...  Read the complete review

"...conquer the world through military might..." ,at least that`s what it says on the box. In AOE2 you can build you`re own castle walls,towers and gates to protect you`re little villagers and the town. You collect wood,stone,gold,berries and meat from game animals like deer, wild boar and fish. Use the resources to build and ...  Read the complete review

Here is another game opinion by me, people who have read my opinions on the other games must think I play them all the time, which I actually do so they would be right. I brought Age of Empires 2 (AOE2) just before Christmas because I had read reviews about it and it was supposed to be a brilliant game. I got the game put in the ...  Read the complete review

Having been off work recently through illness I decided to purchase a game for my PC, to while away some hours and having tried the trial version I opted for a dual pack Age of Empires The Age of Kings and The Conquerors Expansion Pack. I had limited experience of the Heroes Games which my Son has on his PC, but I immediately ...  Read the complete review

Being the first ever game I played on my home PC I was hoping for something a little special from Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings (AoE2) to begin my PC gaming experience. Having been a long time fan of the genre but being deprived them owning only consoles, I was very excited about AoE2. My first few hours experience on AoE2 were ...  Read the complete review

After deciding to buy it and playing it for a week, I realised how good it was. The aim ...  Read the complete review

I have been an aficionado of this game series from Microsoft and Ensemble Studios ever since the launch of the original "Age of Empires" about three(?) years ago. The original game almost lead to a divorce, as every spare moment was spent planning strategies and fighting and re-fighting battles, and such has been the case ...  Read the complete review

I have to be quite honest, I liked it! At first I thought it looked a little flat because it looked like Age of Empires so much. I know this was to be expected since it is using the same gaming engine. But pleasantly I was surprised to find it is very different. The only thing really truly old in this game is the Microsoft logo ...  Read the complete review

Age of empires is an excellent game with few if any flaws. The game play is very addictive and the depth of the game is awesome with so many civilisations to be and also many different units to build, train and use in an all out war against your enemy. There are different simulations you can play, like regicide. In this you must kill ...  Read the complete review
