It's hard not to refer to the Age of Empires franchise when talking about great RTS titles. Originally released in 1997, the series has been going strong for almost twenty-five years. The release of Age of Empires 4 has once again reignited interest in the popular series, with most fans still finding it hard to believe that they could finally enjoy another new AoE game after what felt like the longest time. While it has been a while since the latest Age of Empires game graced most PCs, the announcement of a console variant is definitely exciting for Xbox players who were interested in this title but didn't have a platform to play it on.
