Strategy game of the year

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Ensemble Studios

"For the first time in a very long while a PC game has surprised me with more than just eye candy. Maintaining the now dated (yet extremely elegant) 2D visuals of its predecessor, Age of Empires II focuses on what truly makes a game a classic: gameplay. It features balanced, varied, and thrilling real-time strategy that involves more than just sheer numbers and enough manual dexterity to work a mouse."

Homeworld

"Having played almost every real-time strategy game, I think Homeworld is the best so far. It incorporates excellent graphics with deep and diverse strategies."
