The first Age of Empires was a good game. It may not have been the absolute best, but it was good. Much like all games that prove their popularity after release, the developers decided to give it a sequel. Age of Empires 2 is one stellar game, and it is easily the best in the entire series.

I spent a good chunk of time on it and had a fairly good time but before I first booted it up, a couple questions kept entering my mind: does Age of Empires have a place in gaming anymore and is the franchise on the whole still worth playing?" - Trey Griffeth from Video Chums
