Age Of Empires II HD

Age Of Empires II HD will be available exclusively on Steam starting on April 9, with a price tag of $19.99. However, those who are itching with anticipation can pre-order and start playing on April 5, with a 10 percent discount. The game was originally developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft, but unfortunately Ensemble is no longer assembling.

Instead, Hidden Path Entertainment, the same folks that developed Counter Strike: Global Offensive, have developed this iteration of the classic game.

Age Of Empires is a real-time strategy game that lets users build civilizations and defend them against other countries and their settlements.

The Steam version supports 1080p multi-monitor play, and it includes all the same single-player campaigns from the original game, along with the Conquerors expansion. Steam will also bring its own leaderboards, achievements, and Steam Cloud support to the title.

Because many of us don't like the changes they made for III.

Also, the HD pack is on sale on Steam right now.

AOE III is awesome though

Nah didn't like it (III) as Red said.

II just have that GOAT feeling to it

Ummm...instant buy.

AOE III sucked big time, AOE II is godlike game, I played it recently and went through all the campaign again.
