historical games rule

Previously I mentioned the Sierra city building series starting with Caesar with the article about video games and literature. That made me remember one of my favorite PC games ever, Age of Mythology. This game rocks. You play through Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythology with real characters like Odysseus making appearances throughout. You can command armies of both human warriors and mythological creatures like the Son of Ra or a Snow Giant. Also, the bad guy is big and scary and totally quotes a G.K. Chesterton poem during his cutscenes. Loves it!
