Age of Empires Online beta currently free for all photo

Over on the Games for Windows Marketplace, you can grab the Age of Empires Online beta as a free download. This is probably a thing you should consider doing, since the site pushes this as our last chance to get in.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard much about this game. I have heard plenty of people saying "Age of Empires III rocks," which is all well and good, but doesn't help the situation. So, we should all try this out then, it sounds like.

AOE II was pretty awesome. I'd be all over this if I thought my computer would run it.

Game is pretty good, but it can get old :\ was testing in alpha, they took the NDA really seriously >.<

It's not a browser game? Isn't that what the whole deal about this game was though... & ya, Age III is cool, though, say they made an age IV now with the same dev team, I think an official fourth game in the series would blow eveyone away.

@Ghost125,

hmm.. it's working fine for me. Although I still plan on immediately uninstalling GFWL program the second I'm done with the game.

AOE 3 was ok. AOE 2 however. I still play the game till this very day, can't get better mileage than that.

AOK > AOM > AOE 3

Still need to give this a try, but I keep forgetting about it because of GFWL.
