Win: Age of Empires III!
Get your hands on the anticipated next installment in the AOE franchise from Ensemble Studios...
We like to give to our readers, rather than receive. Which is why we at Kikizo don't have a PayPal 'donate' button on the site! As evidence, today we have copies of the spectacular PC release, Age of Empires III, to give away...
So act your "Age" and get moving, in order to win the latest goods that Microsoft's "Empire" is quite literally throwing at you spoilt so-and-sos. (We're not pun-making genius journalists for nothing, you know).
To be precise, we have four copies of the normal edition, and one special collector's edition, as you cheeky fellows prepare to take on the role of a European power to explore, colonize and conquer those yanks. Hurrah!
AOEIII starts where Age Of Empires: Age Of Kings stopped, with gamers assuming the role of a European nation with expansion on its mind.
During the course of the game you'll encounter new civilisations from across the globe that will try to slow your imperial ambitions. Aside from the enhanced graphics, gamers will also be able to try out new units and structures in a single-player campaign spanning three generations.
We all know it's ace - racking up scores around the NINETY PER CENT mark in many publications - so waste no time in entering. Just answer the following tricky question to stand a chance of winning!
Which of the following has never been an "empire" (of sorts)?
a) Britain
b) Microsoft
c) The guy who runs a chip shop on the corner?
