AoE Discussions

Alright so starting off on this blog of ours, I thought that we could begin our intelligent conversing, with an old game that has been apart of us since we first met, this game of course is "Age of Empires".

Although for the past year or so our interest in the series has been declining, due mostly to the fact of other interest's (like javajoe's girly troubles =)) Ensemble Studios has announced that they will be releasing a new expansion pack for AoE 3.

Although the new expansion pack is not something that people didn't expect, it's who will be creating it that is the shocker. Big Huge Games, creators of one of my most favorite games "Rise of Nations", is going to make the new expansion pack for AoE 3. The game is called "AoE 3 Asian Dynasties", and I must say that is a step in the right direction. It will introduce the three major powerhouses of the time, China, Japan, and India into the game.

So I am just wondering what to expect from this game. The other expansion pack "The Warcheifs" (I don't believe you've ever had the privilege to play it). I recently bought the game "The Warcheifs" and I must say it is a great edition to the collection. But what can we expect from this new expansion? With Big Huge Games and Ensemble working on it, the possibilities of the game our amazingly high.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I can't see how they can blow making this game a "must have". I have very high expectations for this game as it is AoE and a long time favorite for both you and me. Also I would encourage all gamer's who are interested to play this game, as it will brighten and enlighten your day and mind.
