Just saw this on gaf. Age of Empires Online looks really cool. A fun art style with back to basics gameplay, and free to play to boot. It's being made by Robot Entertainment, which is the best they can hope for at this point, though it's still a shell of the former Ensemble. I once again have to wonder why they shut the studio down, considering they're chasing down the scraps to work on the same types of games they were known for in the first place.
But whatever. More Age of Empires!
