Starcraft is a real time strategy game released by Blizzard on April 1, 1998. Starcraft: Broodwar,the expansion of this game, was released shortly on November 30, 1998. The game features three playable races which are the Protoss, Terran, and the Zerg. This game still remains popular today and this is especially true in South Korea where professional gamers can make a living from winning tournaments. The game consists of managing an economy while building an army. What makes this game so popular is the simplicity but even so it takes a lot of work to master. There is a lot of decision making and can be compared to chess but in Starcraft speed does matter. Every decision could put you ahead of cost you the game. An example would be an attempt to increase economic intake by building another base, a player must consider if he/she is over extending themselves or whether or not they can protect it to reap in the benefits. Even though this game is pretty old and the graphics are not up to par the game play is outstanding and I would recommend this game to everyone.
