Do you want to play"Age of Empires Online?"Do you want to play it right now? Then head right overhereand sign up for the beta. Microsoft is allowing a ton of people in during the beta's final 48 hours, so if you're curious about this online real-time strategy game, now's a great time to check it out. Added bonus: if you play the beta this weekend, your Windows Live gamertag may end up in the game's end credits.
The"Age of Empires"games are historical real-time strategy titles. Since 1997, the series has released three main games, as well as a number of expansion packs. The setting for each game has varied slightly, tasking you with establishing a thriving civilization in Europe's Stone Age, the Middle Ages, and Asia to name a few. The franchise has always found relative success, and serves as a direct competitor to the similarly themed"Civilization"games.
"Age of Empires Online"isn't exactly rewriting the book– it still features history-based, resource management strategy gameplay – but it does feature new online co-op and a persistently online world. Apparently, your capitol city will continue to carry on with its regular activities, even if you're offline.
The new game's cartoony look, not to mention its free-to-play model, has made me a bit wary. I think it's obvious that the developers are looking to draw in new, casual players, but I'm hoping that the game doesn't abandon its series' roots.
A representative on the"Age of Empires Online"forumspostedsome information a couple days ago about how you can actually get your gamertag in the game's credits. You'll need to get into the beta first (obviously), then complete a few tasks like ten quests or twenty player-versus-player matches. After completing your tasks, it's just a matter of emailing the developers and your name will appear in the final game's credits. Now you can finally update that resume.
