Age Of Empires Online Beta Codes Given Away By Alienware

Tweet

Age Of Empires, Microsoft’s beloved and more than a decade old RTS franchise is seeing a new lease on life after the dramatic closure of its parent studio, Ensemble last year. And while the resurrection is less than dignified, the once stately franchise being reduced to something one rung above free browser games, the shiny, slightly cartoony Battlefield Heroes-esque makeover will help it fit right in.

Heading over to the Alienware Arena website to get your Beta key will surely put the mystery to rest, but you might want to wait a bit and not just because of the rush, but we hear they’re experiencing technical difficulties of some sort. They haven’t said anything about a rat infestation, so it’s probably not a rat infestation, but then again, allegations of rat infestations have not been denied by the time of press either. Probably because they don’t know about them, but the point still stands.
