Microsoft just announced that Age of Empires 3 and Flight Simulator X have just had expansions shipped out today. I personally love the AOE series, and can’t wait to try out the extras included in the new expansion. I have never played the flight sim series, so I don’t have an opinion on it, but I do know its rather popular in its genre.
