You cannot talk games without mentioning the fantastic developments blizzard has come out with in recent years. The First of which was Starcraft, one of my all-time favorite games ever.
Name: Starcraft
Publisher: Blizzard Entertainment
Release Date: Mar 31, 1998
Platform: PC
That’s right, this game is almost ten years old, and still going strong. One of the first Real Time Strategy games to be almost perfectly balanced. The player has the option of playing as the brutal Zerg, the industrious Terran, or the proud Protoss. Each with their own set of skills, and advantages, the amount of strategy involved is enormous. Do you try an all out ground assault? Do you try to take them down from the air? Considering this game came out 10 years ago, the graphics are fairly sleek, and easy on the eyes. The best part about this game? Blizzard still releases updated patches every now and then. Also, there is still a thriving community of gamers on Battle.net who still play. This game also comes with a map editor, allowing you to create your own landscapes and adventures. People have used modified versions of this editor to create different “Mini” games that are playable online via Blizzard’s free battle.net. This game has grown so much in popularity, that not too long ago Blizzard announced the creation of Starcraft 2, to be released in late 2008. There is no doubt this game will be around for some time to come. They even still hold official tournaments in Korea. Certainly something to check out, only $10 dollars in most stores.
My Rating: 6/5 Yes… it’s that good. I’m giving it a 6 out of 5 Stars.
