Favorite Microsoft Strategy Game?

[Referal]

Hello everyone! I'm starting this new thread to ask what's your favorite Microsoft strategy game. Microsoft titles include all the Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, Rise of Nations, Halo Wars, and others.

My personal favorite is Age of Empires II and its recent update, HD Edition on Steam. I used to play this game like crazy when I as 10 years old, coming everyday from school to play the great singleplayer campaigns and now, with the new DLCs and added Steam multiplayer, I play it at least twice a week.

So, which one is your favorite and why?

I actually re-bought Rise of Nations a few weeks ago because I was missing that style of game. Age of Empires was great too.

If anyone knows any new games along their style let me know.
