Best PC Game #2: StarCraft
Wow, there’s an awful lot that could be said about this amazing game. Though it is incredibly old, made back in 1998 (that’s 11 years), it still has millions of players captivated. When you say the word “RTS” there are several games that come to mind but StarCraft is probably the first. I would be awfully short-sighted if I didn’t rank this as one of the best PC games ever. Blizzard Entertainment definitely struck gold when they published StarCraft.
StarCraft has three main races, the Terran, Protoss, and Zerg. The Terran are the only human race. The Zerg are slimy nasty creatures and the Protoss are often referred to as gods, or robots. The human race is probably the race taht you should play when you first start just because they are less confusing and you’ll be able to figure things out easier. They have advanced tanks and nukes and other weapons like that. The Zerg are a little more sneaky and their monsters grow when you advance them and they can be pretty abominable! The Protoss have very powerful war ships, though they are expensive and you can’t have very many of them. They more than make up for that though when all of a sudden you see what seems to be thousands of drones emerge from their warships and demolish the enemy.
StarCraft is easily one of the most played and best PC games in Korea and other parts of Asia. If you happen to ever find yourself in an internet cafe over there, or even play the multiplayer version of the game online, and you’re playing with Koreans….watch out! I guarantee you’ll get your butt handed to you. I definitely do not mean this in any negative way, I’m just saying those guys over there rock at this game.
Well it’s really hard to sum this game up in a short post, but it is a classic and ranks high on the best PC games ever list. One of the most recognizable aspects of the game are some of the sound bytes. If you’ve ever played it, you’ll definitely recognize phrases such as “SCV good to go sir!”, “Goliath online!” or “Ready to roll out!”
If you loved this game as much as millions of other avid gamers, there is good news! StarCraft 2 is in the works. It will not be ready in 2009, but should be available by 2010. Maybe it will be as good and make it into the best PC games ever list.
