For $6 I can get Age Of Mythology, Flight Simulator 2004, and/or Rise Of Nations 1.0 with my new computer. What are those games about? Cause that's a really good deal. Thanks. |

They are not worth it. Flight Simulator 2004 was made by Microsoft because it had nothing better to do. Rise Of Nations is low-rated, and wasn't fun when I played it. Only one of those that may be worth it is AOM (Age Of Mythology). It is similar to AOE III, and neither is violent. They are RTS games. In AOM you control mythological characters in war. In AOE III you control an empire. There is fighting, but there is no blood/gore. When they die the bodies vanish. |

O_O All three of those games are excellent. Age of Mythology is the peak of Ensemble Studios RTS design IMO. Flight Simulator 2004 is the only commercial plane flight sim worth owning since Looking Glass Studios Flight Unlimited. Rise of Nations is a wonderful mix of standard RTS play with Civilization elements thrown in for good measure. And it most certainly wasn't low rated. It has an average score of 89.3% on Game Rankings. |

I never tried FS 2004 or RON 1.0, but what I did play is Age of Mythology & I love it, it's very similar to Age of Empires' Games but this one involves temples & seeking help from Greek Gods (like Zeus, Athena, Hades and so on) & special units like Minotaurs (the half man half bull) & massive dinosaurs (or was it dragons??), you get the picture....but it's pretty old though. |

AoM and RoN are excellent, I have them both. I never played Flight Simulator though, but I read positive reviews. Those 3 games for $6 is a great deal. |

Much of my time a few years ago was taken up playing Age of Mythology. It was like a drug: my portal into more 'hardcore' RTS games like Civilization. |

<picky prez> Civilization IV is turn based, not real time. |

Flight Simulator 2004 is one of the best simulation games, and you need to have a "super"-computer in order to play it (w/ the highest settings). :P As for AoM, I don't really like age of empires series, so I assume that I won't like AoM. I think it all comes down to what type of games that you like. If you like RTS, you will probably like AoM. |

My cousin has flight simulator 2004 (I think, unless there's another game like that ). It looked pretty cool, I watched him play it once.
