Also, for those who think that Starcraft is so incredibly better than the AOE series. AOE 2 is at 92% and Starcraft is at 93% on GameRankings.

GameRanking means very little when you consider how each have stood the test of time. Starcraft, up until recently, was still widely played online. It is also mentioned in several 'best games of all time' lists because of that very reason.

Undoubtedly, both are great games, but Starcraft stuck around longer for a reason.

 

 

That's because there was no sequel to steal away Starcraft's fans.  :P

Age fans are now divided between Age of Empires II, Age of Mythology (where I fall), and Age of Empires III.  The Age of Empires series (not including Mythology, from what I understand), has thus far sold over 20 million units.

Exactly. I am Age of Empires II. AoM was no doubt an awesome game, but it came out too close to AoE II for me to leave it. Plus I prefer the historical setting of course. And AoE III, tried it, also good game, but I never got hooked.

So I still spend many hours playing AoE 2 online. It rules.
