Who cares what ES says about AOE...the game rocked.!

MicrocutsX24840d ago

Age of Empires was literally the first RTS I ever played and was awesome. Really sucks they're gone now.

BIGTRIN4840d ago

Ya I can still remember playing. Such a great game. Those memories will live on tho!

jaidek4840d ago

There have been so many great studios closed down over the past few years. It is great to see though when one fails many new ones form.

OC_MurphysLaw4840d ago

Not so sure about the "many" new ones form on a whole...but certainly is good to see a new studio emerge from things like this.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb444d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni443d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic753d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure753d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure751d ago (Edited 751d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
