AoE III Review

I love the Age of Empires franchise, I believe that this is one of the best Real Time Strategy games around, and my beliefs are proved true with each new game that comes out. The talented developers at Ensemble Studios really help innovate this genre by putting in new concepts and ideas with each successive game in this franchise. Their latest release: Age of Empires III, takes the franchise back into its historical roots, unlike the last game which was based in mythology. Read on to find out why you need to go purchase this game as soon as possible.

Age of Empires III takes off right after the last game in this series, which was Age of Empires II. The last game had players come out of the Roman Empire and build themselves a true medieval paradise. This game picks up right after that time period where the world was fascinated with expansion into the “ New World.” This is where kings and queens put their faith in their servants to travel across the seas to set up colonies to bring new and previous resources back into their empire. This was a true time of expansion into the complete unknown, because no one knew what laid before them, but the prospects were golden.

The game scored a healthy 95% rating.. amazing! Check out the full review over at GameZone.
