    Didn't see this coming at all, but I'm pretty excited. This was sensational over the LAN, and it also had a very handy feature in that you could save LAN games.

    This was a great game, and will be getting it again for sure. Never managed to get into AoE III and have missed the addiction of the original style.

    Saw this few days ago, might pick it up in a sale but don't see the point of getting it when I still haven't played AOE3 yet.

    Hopefully this bodes well for a sequel to Defense Grid as well

    Nah, Just Hidden Path doing the upgrade.


    Fingers crossed they do the same with Freelancer, since so many games are being funded in the Space Sim genre

    Never got to play AoE2 (I didn't really have a computer that could play it, and by the time I heard of it I couldn't play it anyway because of a dying laptop), will hopefully be playing this in a month or so.. It's been quite hyped by the people who told me about it, so here's hoping it's not going to be a let down!

    Re: Age Of Empires 2 HD Edition

    I was very surprised and happy to see this announce! I used to play this game on the MSN Gaming Zone with my clan back in the day. I was truly addicted to it, and would stay up until 4, 5, or even 6AM playing, lol. Blue Arabia 4v4 Deathmatch FTW!!
