I don't know about you guys, but Age of Mythology is probably the game I wanted most this year, right after Warcraft 3. Yup, as you can see, I like RTS games

I've played countless games of Age of Empires (1 & 2) and I can't wait to play AOM in multiplayer, especially with all the improvements Ensemble Studios did compared to AOE 1 & 2.

Feel free to post your thoughts/comments here.

Hrm... To tell you the truth the one RTS game I itch for now is Platoon (Platoon is my #1 rated war movie of all times... Yes, even better than Apocalypsis Now&#33 ). And of course G.I. Combat in case they DO manage to make it as realistic as Close Combat but in 3D (and with decent camera controls).

Well, the main improvement is the addition of 'god powers' which gives a totally new dimension to the game. Those god powers are available in a limited number - max 4 per game. The idea behind god powers is that each time you advance to a new 'age', you must choose between two gods. The choice of the god is very important, because each one has some special powers, but as I said you can only have 4 god powers per game, and you can use each only once per game. This offers tons of new possibilities to the game, especially in multiplayer.

Even if you have the biggest army, tons of ressources, and more, you can still be defeated if your opponent use its god powers at the right time. Multiplayer games are much faster because of that. A game takes on average 30-45 minutes, unlike Age of Empires where you could spend more than 2 hours just for one game...

Check our articles about the game, and the official site for more details, and expect a review of the game soon.

AOE series are few of my favorite RTS games, but the last pack released "Art of conquest" was pretty much disappointing. I haven't heard of AOM yet, but I hope it'll remind us of the success of past AOE games.
