One of the best strategy games to ever come out on PC.

User Rating: 9.8 | Starcraft PC
In all that it's worth, I consider StarCraft a classic among all strategy games. The game is great in almost every aspect, and after nearly 10 years, it's still played by lots of people worldwide. Like any BLIZZARD game, StarCraft has a great storyline, with incredible twists and turns, though some may choose not to listen to all the briefings, they should definitely should, as it's one of the best aspects of the game. One of the great things about StarCraft is that you will probably never get bored of it. The graphics may not compare to other 21st Century games, or even newer BLIZZARD games, but somehow, that doesn't really matter. The game is fun none the less. Despite a great storyline campaign, StarCraft also supports a massive multi-player gameplay, which will make sure the game will still be fun even when you're finished the campaign.
In StarCraft you get to control three races: Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss. The Terrans are your future high-tech humans, who have a great deal of colonies and influence in the StarCraft Universe. They are probably the most versatile race in the game, which combines power and defence together. The Zerg are your "nasty, slimy creatures" that you know are the bad guys from the first time you see them. Although their units are weaker than those of the other races, their strength is that they can spawn in incredible numbers, and outnumber any enemy. The Protoss are your psionic-powered high-tech aliens, which would seem like the most powerful race, and in strength they are. Unfortunately, they have very expensive units compared to the other races, which makes them weak in numbers.
Overall, I think this game is one of the best to come in a long time, and it should have been impossible for you not to have at least heard of this game. After 9 years, it's still fun popular, and that's not only what makes a great game, that's what makes a classic.
