Age Of Empires II: Conqueror 2.0 for Windows, Mac

Pros: Lots of new stuff!
Cons: One update

The first thing you should know is that The Conquerors is an expansion pack. This means you must have A ge of Kings on your system to load and play this. Conquerors adds quite a few elements to Kings. Well worth ...

Pros: New civilizations, enhanced gameplay, great attention to detail
Cons: A bit pricey on its own

For those of you who follow my work regularly, this review is something of a milestone for me. It happens to be my hundredth review. So, in order to celebrate, I decided to choose something special to write about. So, given that my very first review...

Pros: New features, new civilizations, great game play, totally engrossing.
Cons: None.

Age of Empires II Expansion, titled the “Age of Conquerors”, is a wonderful add-on game to Age of Empires II, “The Age of Kings”. Ensemble Studios, owned now by Microsoft (they can’t keep their grubby mitts of anything!), came up with a great series of...

Pros: new civilizations, new skills, new campaigns, makes AOE2 even better! A must-have for the AOE2 fan
Cons: none

Before I begin, I would like to say that this review is based almost exclusively on The Conquerors, which is the expansion for Age of Empires 2 (AOE2). If I attempted to explain AOE2 in addition to discussing the benefits of the expansion, this review...

Pros: New Civs, new campaigns, features, etc.
Cons: A few.

I just wrote a negative review about a computer game called “Divided Ground”. But being a generally positive individual, I have to write about a great game that I like, “Age of Conquerors”. Ensemble Studios, owned now by Microsoft (they can’t keep...

Pros: Good balance, several choices, stops many genre conventions cold
Cons: A little too complicated for newbies, the Zone isn't great for multiplayer gaming

Anyone who has had a PC in the past...oh...ten years, has played some type of game in this genre. Real Time Strategy. The methodical thinking of chess mixed with the on your feet thinking that only a video game can provide. Westwood's Command and ...

Pros: Finally smart villagers & farm re-seeding, new civilizations & new warriors
Cons: easy is too easy, hard is way too hard!

I am a huge fan of the original Ages of Empires II: Age of Kings. It was the first war/strategy game I purchased that I actually liked. However, the game did have noticeable flaws, like having to participate in each action of building your...

Pros: One of the finest RTS games made even better.
Cons: The price, for what doesn't feel like a 'new' enough game. Not stand alone.

The Conquerors add-on pack for Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings is so good that you can never go back to playing the original sequel. See my review of that game at

Pros: Makes the game more replayable, a little more intricate and convenient.
Cons: Fell short of my expectations for a full-priced game.

This review will be broken down into four parts. Part one will represent what I thought were great additions to the game and the improvements that were made. The second part will discuss things that were implemented, but fell short of its potential to...

Pros: else than the con
Cons: still isometric 2D

Story Medieval Age is the age of turmoil. This condition applies not only to European states, but also to Asian states. Beside brought casualties, the battles also brought new ideas from foreign states. This age finally ended with European ...

Pros: Improved graphics, new features and civilizations
Cons: none really

There was an Age of Empires made way back when that was new for the time and a very fun game. But over the years improvements have been made and made and made and this came out. In a few years there’ll be an add-on to this that’ll be great and...

Pros: New maps, civilizations, units and Wonders; three new multiplayer modes; high replay value
Cons: Spanish units can unbalance multiplayer; you are still filling Bill Gates’ pockets.

Reviewing expansion packs is like purchasing a PlayStation 2 on ebay, you never know what you are going to get. The title of choice can either be a quality follow-up to the franchise where the developers put all their efforts into or, well, a title where...

Pros: Excellent graphics, extreme playability
Cons: Extremely addictive and therefore time consuming

If you have lots of spare time and enjoy what I like to call "Epic Strategy" games, this is the one for you. Among my circle of game playing friends, we all agree this is the most addictive game of any type ever published. Microsoft has a...

Pros: Greatest strategy game ever.
Cons: price

The Age of empires 2: Age of kings expansion: Age of Conquerors is better than it's mother but isn't worth the money. The game costs almost as much as Age of Kings and yet there aren't that many updates.

My favorite upgrade is the refresh farm...

Pros: Great history lessons
Cons: Not enough time in the day to play.

Its Mine! I drooled over this and finally got it with my Christmas bonus, nothing better then a gift certificate to a local mall. Talk about being happy.

I am a huge fan of the original AoE and of the AoE2, that's no secret, so I was excited...
