Age of Empires II returns after 14 years

One of my favorite games (together with SimCity 2000) was Age of Empires II – The Age of Kings. Next month, an updated version of the game — which originally was released in 1999 — will be available exclusively on Valve’s Steam platform.

Age of Empires II HD, as the upcoming release is called, is remastered for higher resolution displays and uses updated textures. The game also support multiple monitors and multiplayer through Steam and will cost $19.99 when it is released on April 9. It is possible to pre-order (with a 10% discount) and start playing the game already on April 5.
