You’ve just experienced the worst day of your life. The boss dressed you down in front of the board; John from Engineering bumped into you and spilled his latte down your shirt; your wife is out with her friends, and finally, Rover left a little gift, which you promptly stepped in as you walked through the door. Wouldn’t some old-fashioned revenge and retribution help take the edge off? Something along the lines of petitioning Zeus to rain down lightning bolts and smite your enemies? You can have all this and more with "Age of Mythology," Microsoft Game Studios’ new real-time strategy (RTS) game, set in a mythological past when heroes battled monsters and gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men.
