Bleh. Pass. I love this new age terminology "free to play" games. Yeah, it's about as enjoyable playing in free mode as it was pretending to play an arcade game in demo mode when you were out of tokens.

Does this mean Microsoft is giving up on making a phone themselves?
No it means they are not going to discriminate against OSes when it comes to pocket picking.

Why is Age of Empires III on the article? AoE III is very, very different from the original AoE, and it kinda sucks.
Forget it. I want Age of Empires II HD on Mac already. Best strategy game since chess. AoE was a pretty good game, but nothing comes close to AoE II.

Hehehe :p

*Ahem* Halo 3.
