The original and, in my opinion, still the best. Age of Empires was one of the first RTS games that I got after buying a decent enough PC a few years ago. I still play it now. Newer versions have come along and other games have used the same...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Age of Empire is one of the best RTS games that I have played. This is the first game I got with my very first PC and that was way back when in 1997ish and I must say that I loved playing this game none stop. I mean even today I tend to turn it...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Age of Empires is the game that proves that Microsoft aren't the best at everything they do. The game does admittedly have some qualities but it is just not as good as other RTS games. The idea that you progress through time from the darkest of...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Age of Empires is the Spartacus of real-time strategy games - lousy history but great entertainment.

A game now undeniably certified as a classic that received some curiously bad reviews at the time.  I saw some as low as 60%.  I personally loved every minute of it.  I was all about turn-based strategy until I picked this one up in a bargain bin...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

At first, I was amazed with this game.  Truly fun gameplay, better graphics than any of my other games, and it had multiplayer!  (Of course this was years ago) However, after a few weeks it just became too repetitive.

Age of Empires and Starcraft came out at around the same time, but I think Age of Empires blows it away.  Not only are the lush 2D graphics more detailed, but the gameplay is too.  And I don't mind because I'm a fan of micromanagement.  This detail...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Age of Empires is one of the best known strategy games in the history.  Why? It's simply because AoE introduced the world to this kind of gaming, and helped Red Alert show us how brilliant this kind of gaming really is.

This is an absolute classic when it comes to real-time strategy.  It's like playing Civilisations without the turn-based concept.  The graphics are really really good, especially for the time when this game came out.
