Looking for some help, I’m not a big gamer anymore but I quite fancied getting a hold of ages of the empires 2 again for when I’m bored at nights or when I’m lying beside the pool during my holiday.

I was just going to buy it again but I wondered is there any other games out there that are better now?

Don’t really like rollercoaster or hospital games. It would be good if it was like age of empires or something to do with f1.

thanks

I quite enjoyed Shogun: Total War (bit old, I know).

Shogun 2 is out now. Any of the total war series (pick your period).
The Dawn of War series is good as well, original for large unit action DoW2 for smaller skirmish type stuff.
