Starcraft & Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

12 years after the release of Starcraft, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty continues the story from Starcraft: Broodwar.

The story telling is excellent and the interface is very similar to the Wing Commander series, where you choose to talk to whoever is available before proceeding on with the next mission.

However, the focus here is not the single-player mode, but rather, the multi-player mode. While it offers the standard ladder system in every MMO, I stopped playing it not because I get maimed almost every time I played PvP. But rather I felt different as compared to playing Starcraft via LAN in the past.

Perhaps my friends were not physically at my place, and thus lost that "after-battle" conversation.

Because of that, the ranking stayed the same as Starcraft.

Starcraft

Blizzard did a fantastic job in creating a RTS (real-time strategy) that actually balanced the forces of three different races: no one race is more powerful than the other.

Welcome to the world of Starcraft. It has an excellent science fiction storyline as well as an easy interface to command your units. Players get to choose one of the three races to start the game: Terran, Zerg or Protoss.

As with other popular Blizzard games, Starcraft spawned not only a great expansion, which continued the story after Starcraft ended, but a legion of fans worldwide.

Ten years after the release of Starcraft, a sequel is in construction...
