Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings for Windows

Pros: Many Play Options and Civilizations
Cons: Too centered on Collecting resources

Age of Empires II: The Age Of Kings is a game that grabs you for about 1 or 2 months and it gets boring after that. Yes, it does have a lot of civilizations and yes, it does have a lot of weapons, seige, buildings and units, but it follows the same...

Pros: Good interface, easy to use, random map generator, several civilizations
Cons: Poor unit structure: each unit is practically the same

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings is a good idea, and is similar to Starcraft, but for one major reason lacks the replay value of Starcraft. Essentially you control your units by telling them what to do and build. Monks can "convert" units to your side,...

Pros: captivating historical story line
Cons: gold is still too hard to keep up

Pros: Town Bell Feature
Cons: Game Just Isn't Very Much Fun

First of let me say that I'm a huge fan of Starcraft. Second let me say that the Craft is a whole lot better than Microsoft's latest attempt at imitation. Maybe Microsoft should quit trying to make a better game than Blizzard and instead just try to...

Pros: Great Strategy Game, Best War Game Available
Cons: Haters of War/Strategy games will not like this one
