Hey, remember MacSoft? I think I do, too. They were this kick-butt Mac gaming company, and then they fell in with the Destineer crowd, and then suddenly stopped hanging around with us. Well, they’re now back at the door, but is it with the Unreal Tournament 3 game they promised Mac gamers back in 2007? No. It’s with games you likely already have in your closet anyway. This month, MacSoft is bringing Scrabble, Monopoly Here & Now Edition, and Game of Life: Pathway to Success to the Mac as part of their Board Game Trio 2.

MacSoft has generally seen success with their modern spins on classic board games, so why not take a shot with a couple family favorites? Your family, anyway. Not mine. My family’s favorite games were Bonkers and Beat Up Your Little Brother Until the Commercials End. Regardless, if the dining room table just feels a little too passe, you can now play The Game of Life: Path to Success, and will soon be able to play Clue Classic on your Macintosh.

Gather ’round, folks, for the latest installment of the acclaimed Age Of Empires series is upon us. Whether its the intricate plot line or the strategic gameplay that floats your boat, chances are this game won’t disappoint the AOE fanatic. Whether you’re conquering Feudal Japan, or fighting the betraying Zamorins, a lot goes on in this one little game.

Read on for a full review of the game!

MacSoft announced today that Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties, the second expansion pack for Ensemble Studios’ award-winning strategy game, is headed to Macintosh computers with new playable civilizations, new units, campaigns, game modes, and more.

“Age of Empires III is one of the best-selling games in MacSoft’s 15-year history,” said Peter Tamte, president of MacSoft parent company Destineer. “The Asian Dynasties expansion delivers new civilizations, a new single-player campaign, as well as new game types, units and more.”
