Game: Empire Earth
Developer: Stainless Steel Studios
Publisher: Sierra Entertainment
Year Released: 2001
Expectations ran high when we found out that former Age of Empires lead designer, Rick Goodman was turning the dial up to 11 and working on Empire Earth. Unfortunately, despite the joy we found in building an empire across 14 different ages, the broad scope of the project ended up lopping this one off at the knees. Empire Earth essentially just seemed like Age of Empires II+, and while that's not a bad thing, it isn't really enough to get this one much higher on our list.
