For a moment, time stood still, the sky opened and a mighty lightning bolt shot from the heavens, heralding the delivery of this year's most anticipated PC game. Today Microsoft Corp. announced the retail availability of "Age of Mythology™," an extension of the blockbuster "Age of Empires" series that has sold more than 10.5 million licensed units worldwide and garnered countless industry awards.

As a top entertainment release this holiday, "Age of Mythology" is backed by a multimillion-dollar global marketing campaign including a movie-style trailer being showcased in Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corp. theaters nationwide before blockbuster films including "Red Dragon," "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and "Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets." "Age of Mythology" has garnered more than 30 magazine covers worldwide and will be one of the hottest entertainment premieres this season, featuring state-of-the-art technology, groundbreaking visual effects, and an epic storyline through Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythologies.

"The global excitement for 'Age of Mythology' has been phenomenal since the game's inception," said Stuart Moulder, general manager for PC Games at Microsoft Game Studios. "From Tokyo to Los Angeles, the 'Age of Empires' series has incited broad fervor among a wide array of international audiences. The excitement has inspired widespread anticipation and Hollywood-style launch parties in all major markets across the globe."
