Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

The AOE franchise has been exceptional since the very first releases from Microsoft Studios. Gamers have grown alongside the franchise and realized that very few other titles match up to what AOE brings to the Real Time Strategy genre.

AOE 3 is superb. The campaigns are unique and the game has two expansion packs with added civilizations, maps, and features. The online multiplayer system run by ESO is still going strong and offers gamers the chance to test their strategies and skills against other in-game leaders (rulers, chiefs, emperors).

This game lets you play god in your own little sandbox and develop it with your passion, expertise, and liberty.
A personal favorite feature is the unique and appropriate voice dialogue added for NPC’s by the game developers, which are in the native language and accent of the civilization being played. Great touch which adds authenticity to the experience.

Iconic, Classic, Legendary first person shooter franchise and still one of the best multiplayer FPS games out there. Counter Strike has remained a fan-favorite for a reason, its undeniable and never-ending skill based multiplayer games. However, the online community and STEAM community for this game is notorious for being incredibaly toxic. It isn’t uncommon to cross paths with cheaters/hackers and that will remain one of the biggest drawbacks if this game.

If you’re playing with a bunch of friends enjoy the shooter experience and if you’re riding solo then try your best to be a good comrade and teamplayer. Ignore the toxicity and the blatant racism spewed by insecure, sad individuals, and enjoy the game for its true value. Hope you dont run into silly cheaters.
