    Welcome to the World of Warcraft…if only Blizzard knew back in 1994 the power of those few words.

    Blizzard's breakthrough hit was one of the first rays of light before the glorious dawn of a new game genre.

    By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: Jul 18, 2010 | PC

    Where it all started for me :)

    By craigrut | Review Date: Dec 30, 2008 | MAC

    The classic first game in the warcraft saga that started it all

    By tool_tip_missin | Review Date: Jun 10, 2007 | MAC

    Warcraft: Orcs & Humans was one of the best games at the time of its release, if not the best, and still managed to still be quite fun the next few years. By today's standards, the game sucks, but back then it was aw... Read Full Review
