AOE-II :O , I'm never ending fan of this game
Me too! :). If you like AoE then maybe you might like to give AoE online[^] (or here[^]) a shot. I had tried it years ago. It was fun to start with but the fun faded away after a while. If you're looking to not having a life, I'd strongly recommend DoTA[^]. Free to Play, Online game. Has a steep initial learning curve but once you get through that, offers endless hours of more learning and fun.

Age of Empires and Starcraft for strategy Doom and Unreal Tournament for shooters Those were my favorites back then. I even mounted a VM to continue playing them in WinXP (lost it a while ago, thinking on giving another try) I have played a while DOTA 2 (free too), I find it quite good as well (don't know DOTA though) And the one that I loved during 2,5 years was Lineage 2. Now it is just crappy... forcing new features each year just made it suck
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

:thumbsup: You get a free 5 for loving AOE . There's something brilliant with people loving AOE type games. :-D You might want to call it RTS. but I'm more specific to AOE like classic looking games. I cannot stand the clutters with so much of buzz & magical looking florescent colored VFX., that I see in recent RTS games. In other words, I see Age of Empires a very practical game. There's no magical stuff (unless you use cheat codes lol). The only other game I liked on top AOE is Tzar- Burden of the crown[^]. It does have some magical stuff involved. but it felt completely okay. A perfect fit for our Nostalgic weekend.

Thanks, I forgot to vote your post up, how rude of me :). Voted up now. I do not mind the magic and vfx, but some games feel like they don't need it at all. I also loved playing Caesar III, and later Civilization III. Caesar III, like most governance games actually made me realize how difficult a task successful governance can be. It's fun playing these games I've spent over 10 hours a day playing these games. Did you know you could play AoE II online as well? First time I played online was when I realized there was speed and skill required to play too even though strategy and planning were still probably core.

I like some modes in Unreal, like the domination mode, but in general the first person camera view feels uncomfortable to me. In short, I sucked at those two games and others like them.

Never got around to playing that, but I've heard about it. Yes I meant DoTA 2. DoTA 2 and the whole so called MOBA genre has a very interesting history. It's the first time a game / genre has developed, not from a commercial company, but from actual players. A brief history is described here[^] (3 part youtube series). [Tl;dr] Players 'modded' warcraft to create a new game mode within the Warcraft 3 game and named it Defence of The Ancients (DoTA). Players loved the new game mode. It became a big hit. Valve (of Half-life and other fame) decided to make a professional grade game 'like' it and called it DoTA 2. [Tl;dr]
