Newsbrief: Microsoft today announced a new installment in the
Age of Empires series -- and it's the first to be built specifically for touch devices.
Age of Empires: Castle Siege is due for release next month on Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 devices, and is in development from Smoking Gun Interactive, the studio that previously worked on numerous Kinect-based games.
The game will comes with in-app purchases available.
Age of Empires fans don't appear to be entirely happy, with the comments sections of both
the announcement blog post and the YouTube trailer filled with complaints.
