The AVault has tossed up a review on Ensemble Studios' recently released RTS, Age of Mythology. Ending up with an overall 5 out of 5 stars, this one sounds like a keeper! Snip:

Gameplay consists of working to progress a civilization through various ages. This usually requires the construction of a prerequisite building, such as a temple or marketplace, and a tremendous expenditure of food and gold. With each new age, new structures, units and beneficial technologies become available for use. While the material benefits of advancing through the ages are not nearly as dramatic as that of previous titles in the series - where expert players prided themselves on "Bronzing," or achieving the Bronze Age, in a certain number of minutes - the spiritual benefit is immense. Each advance in age will allow players to choose another deity to add to their pantheons, choosing between the two that are assigned to a particular major god or goddess for a given era.
