Age of mythology - one of the best real time strategy games around, with its amazing animations and features. It is a grand step up from the 'Ago of empires' series as the fluid graphics, good music and new game-play makes it a very good choice.
This time, the game focuses on Norse, Egyptian and Greek civilizations, but with the expansion pack, also Atlanteans.
Another feature of this award winning game are the new 'God Powers.' Basically, worship a particular god and you are granted a power unique to that particular god, e.g worship Zeus and get a lightning bolt, worship Artemis and get an earthquake. These new powers can mean victory or defeat in any situation.
Also, a new element of the game focuses on the mythical creatures from the civilizations, hence the name 'Age of Mythology.' For an example, if you are Greek, expect to see Minotaurs and Centaurs or even Manticores. If you are Norse you can choose to have the mighty Kraken.

This game is one of my personal favorites as it is unique in its origionality. I just hope that you enjoy it too.
