Age of Mythology transports players to a time when heroes did battle with monsters of legend and the gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men. In Age of Mythology, players wage war using human armies and diplomacy, progress through development ages, enhance military and economic performance with improvements, and manage economics through resource gathering and trade. Mythology enters the mix when players call upon the gods to act on their behalf or reinforce their armies with more than 20 mythological creatures. Less

HALF-LIFE 2: Setting Standards ... in almost every aspect.

bytheuerkorn Dec 31, 2004
67 Helpfuls 68 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Physics, graphics, sound, weapons, equipment, controls, no CD dongle
Cons Online activation required, no manual available (at all)
Recommended it? Yes

In 1998 the original Half-Life set standards and the sequel initially set records in a slightly different way by being one of the longest delayed and yet published games ever. Half-Life 2 has finally been published in November 2004 -- 6 years after the original game made a big splash in the... Read full review »

Pros awesome graphics engine, solid plot, gameplay varies, huge environments
Cons high system specs, a few areas where the character will get "stuck"
Recommended it? Yes

Half Life 2 received solid reviews from all the major gaming sites on the web, including a 97% from IGN and a 92% from Gamespot, accounting for a disgustingly high 96% overall among 61 media outlets on the web. I wholeheartedly agree. Half Life 2 is without a doubt one of the best 3d shooters, and... Read full review »

Age of Mythology ~ Not as good as Age of Empires

Pros Anything to do with mythology is always cool.
Cons Feels a little outdated
Recommended it? Yes

I am completely enthralled with Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings and it's expansion, Age of Conquerors. I think that soured Age of Mythology for me just a bit. Oh don't get me wrong, this is a great game.... it just isn't quite as engaging as it's cousin, close, but not quite.

Ensemble Studios Brings Us To Another Age

bygorocco Dec 13, 2002

Pros Easy to use interface, Varying twists to the real time strategy formula
Cons Mediocre AI, average single player experience, too much base building
Recommended it? Yes

With all of the RTS games out there, the phrase "beating a dead horse" more than applies to this genre. We've seen everything from humans and orcs to Star Wars licenced games. Now, Ensemble Studios, the happy folk who brought us Age of Empires (AOE) I and II, come back with yet another RTS. Age of... Read full review »
