a great turn-based strategy game

I got Age of Empires: Mythologies for Christmas this year and I can't recommend it enough. If you've never tried the series it's actually a pretty great intro to it and if you've played Age of Mythology you'll especially love it. All your favorite units from Myrmidon to Mummy are there; the only major difference is the turn-based system. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's totally fun. The graphics are really great with rich music and cool battle cutscenes and the interface is quite easy to use. Once you get accustomed to recognizing each tiny building and unit the turns start flying by. Plus with its full system of achievements and unlockable heroes/gods this game has tons of replay value and I think I'll hold on to it for quite awhile. Two thumbs way up!
