This game is so good it makes me want to have my own country.

Recently I picked up a few PC games to get back into the whole PC gaming thing. When I was at Frys electronics I noticed they had Age of Empires and Age of Empires 2 on sale for $10. I picked it up immediately because thats such a good deal for both Age of Empires games. Now Age of Empires 2 was released in 1999 making it 11 years old(yes Virgina, I can maths). In gamer terms that might as well be ancient. The graphics are 2D and a little rough compared to the airbrushed 3D glitz we get these days. However this game has one thing going for it. It is so much fun to play.

This weekend jdubb, Adam and I played 6 LAN games of Age 2 and had a blast. 11 years later fun is still fun and you don’t need ultra high res graphics to have a great game. Not saying ultra amazing graphics are bad, they just don’t totally make a game.

When the Age of Empires 3 pack comes down in price some I will pick it up. Hopefully its as good as Age 2 LAN.
