Age of Empires II

Published on September 5, 2008 in Games and Life. 2 Comments Tags: , .

This game has something addicting that continually draws me back to it. I am sure for many of you who play video games, you have a game that has a similar effect upon you. Freshmen year of college, I pushed Dan, kr3z, and Joe to start playing AOE2 again. I even persuaded Tony to put aside the graphically intense third installment of the Age of Empires Series. Arguably, that was my best game play. As a group we would play and toss around new strategy ideas.

I remember playing the demo for the original Age of Empires, it was a lot of fun, but took eons to download on my dial up line. Back then, a 200MB file seemed enormous. This week, I got Monica playing. She is enjoying it and learning pretty quickly. When will a classic game like this lose its entertainment value? Never, I hope.

    Wow! I just installed this shit on my computer a few days ago! Forever a classic, no doubt. I’m down to play some games of Age or SC anytime. *Needs RTS fix*
