23 years later, one beloved Age of Empires 2 rival returns in a big way

RTS games may be enjoying a modern resurgence, but you just can't beat the classics. Even all these years later, Command and Conquer: Red Alert, Age of Empires 2, and Starcraft 2 remain the genre's must-plays. The same goes for Stronghold Crusader. You no longer need to go back to the original, however, because the all-new Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition is finally here. With improved graphics and extra campaigns, it's the ideal way to play.
