There has been a lot of news in terms of gaming this past week. Here is a short recap of news from the gaming world.
Microsoft has unveiled Age of Empires Online, as a new addition to its Age of Empires franchise and LIVE-enabled titles, along with an announcement of the development of Microsoft Flight, a new entry inspired by the best-selling Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise.
The company says that the new titles are fully integrated with the free Games for Windows – LIVE online service to deliver an increased connected gameplay experience.
Age of Empires Online, notes the company, spurs users on to create a living, growing online world, shared with friends and friendly rivals around the globe.
Microsoft Flight, the company adds, “will bring a new perspective to the long-standing genre, welcoming everyone, including long-time fans, to experience the magic of flight.”
