Age of Empires Online Review
Post by Dan @ 03:11pm 24/08/11 | 7 Comments
Last week, Microsoft relaunched their much-loved real-time strategy Series Age of Empires with a new "fremium" title, developed by Gas Powered Games of Supreme Commander and Dungeon Siege fame (who continued the work started by some of the original AoE Ensemble Studios team).
“Age of Empires Online” is a bold new twist on a franchise so many have grown to love with the addition of more social capabilities and a customizable and persistent experience. Play the entire game for free or upgrade with a broad selection of Premium Content Packs. You decide, because in this new age, YOU RULE.
Our resident strategy buff Kosta has been putting the game through it's paces and you can find out all his thoughts in this in-depth review.

Age of Empires Online can be found over at ageofempiresonline.com as well as regular retail stores for Windows PC.

Great review (at least, the spice girls bit amused me). I've been meaning to check this out, and finally got GFWL working by switching from XP to Win7.

I suspect that this will get years of love from people looking to recapture AoE2 multiplayer times, as many of my friends still do.

I've just been playing it, it seems fun but I don't like the idea of the premium features so far... I just got a quest reward I can't even equip without paying for a premium civilization upgrade... if it still holds my interest in a few days I'll probably pay for it.. mostly to give pvp a go

will, kinda reminds me of the time I was patching a very failed mmo (Champions Online) and a very successsful one (Rift), also image name.

If you can't even download/patch the game at your connection speeds maximum, it's basically dead to me.
