The only time Microsoft and taking over the world belong in the same sentence..

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: With such a high amount of replay value and such wonderfully polished graphics and sound, everyone should own this game.
Review: 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...

Build Rome In Less Than A Day

Date of Review:  May 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you like ancient history and want to pretend you're some big-shot from times past, then this game was designed with you in mind.
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...

A Game Fit For An Emperor

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: There are few games on the market that are equal to Age Of Empires. The best game I've played.
Review: No subtle hints from me that's for sure. I must have said one hundred times or more in the weeks leading to Christmas how much I enjoy historical role-playing games. I probably even said how fantastic Age Of Empires is, and what consistently good...

Aging Technology

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2000
Review: Here are the facts: Age of Empires was a great game when it first came out. It is a lot of fun too. But compared to recent games such as its sequel, it doesn't quite measure up.
This is the latest in the genre of real time strategy games, this...

Help! I'm responsible for the Fall of Western Civilization

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2000
Review: My son bought this game a couple of weeks ago with his Birthday money. At first I just watched a few times - looks interesting. Then I sat down and tried to help my youngest play. Then I got hooked! This game is VERY addicting. I always tell myself...

Tip toe through history

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2000
Review: Ages of empires can be a very addicting game. You start out with a village, and build up your civilization through many ages. i.e. wood to stone age and up. You manage your village and its population. You have to provide food shelter and education...

Being Ceaser

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2000
Review: Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome is one of the best expansions I have ever seen on a strategy game. Still, as much as I like it, it has both strong and weak points. I'll start with the positive stuff about it.

First, the artificial...

I loved this game from the moment I set eyes on it.

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 1999
Review: While learning the ins and outs of the game may be fairly daunting, isn't that what makes a good game? Difficulty?

Once you get the hang of it though, it becomes a lot of fun. Who can outthink who? Should I attack him now while he doesn't...

Was that your computer or TV?

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2000
Review: Age of Empires started out as a bane to me because one of my friends was always playing it when I called him. I could hear it over the phone, and kept asking him what channel he was watching. At last, I got a copy for myself and found out why he was...

Fun at first

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2000
Review: I got Age Of Empires along with my computer. I didn't know what to expect. I put in the cd and was amazed by the opening graphics. The scenes of war and battle got me hooked immediately. When I started to play, it took a while to learn, but I found...
