Remember Age of Empires 2? It’s only the game that first introduced me and countless others to the RTS genre and defined the first few years of my PC gaming life. Well it’s back and will be exclusively available on Steam in its updated HD format.

Personally I can’t wait for this release as my old copy (yes I still have the original stored in the attic) isn’t compatible with my current PC.
