MSN Casual Gamers

Long time, no post! I have been busy these last couple of days, and I have had no time for my own blog. I may not be posting every day now either, but I will try my best. Anyway, about Ensemble Studios:

MSN Casual Gamers has announced that as of June 19th, the MSN Gaming Zone will no longer be supporting CD-Rom games. This means that players will no longer be able to use the Zone Matchmaking service for Age of Empires titles. This includes Age of Empires, Rise of Rome, Age of Empires II, and The Conquerors expansion. It seems that Ensemble are trying hard to get them supported elsewhere, but until that time I guess I will have to play something else. [http://zone.msn.com/en/general/article/genbeyondthezone.htm]
