The Empire is still at War!

Much like the present here on Earth, war is a constant in that galaxy far, far away. Empire at War remains the ultimate Star Wars real time strategy game, despite having been released several years ago. With the full campaigns provided by the core game, the expansion pack, user-generated content, and of course multiplayer, there is still a lot to do in Empire at War. So, find a free evening, dust off that CD, and do battle once again!
