Age of Empires III Preview @ Firing Squad

The Age of Empires games have special meaning for me. While one of my friends, Paul, was slaving away in college at his engineering degree, he happened to mention that he got a new computer and likes this “Age of Empires” game that puts ancient civilizations into mortal combat with each other. He invited me to play a few games. I whooped on him, and then proceeded to introduce him to Ages of Empires II: Age of Kings, and whooped on him there. It was December 1999, I’d just accepted an offer to join FiringSquad full-time, and between whooping on Paul and working at FS, it was the best time of my life.

I cannot wait for this game, it looks absolutely AMAZING. If you have not checked out the screenshots yet, prepare to gasp! Check out the full preview at Firing Squad.
