Retribution for DOS

Pros: good strategy game
Cons: graphix aren't as good as tiberian sun

This game is sort of a spinoff of Age of Empires, but has expanded on it. Actually, AOE2 has many of the capabilities that AOE didn't, but StarCraft developed. It has 3 races, but also the tech trees are different, and you need different buildings,...

Pros: extremely good exercise for your brain; very good graphics; kicking story line which continues into the expansion set; very good game
Cons: I wish I could say there were none, but it is a bit violent for the younger crowd. It is also a bit time consuming, as the better you get and the more people you play makes each game take longer. Highly addictive but not for everyone.

Starcraft is generally thought of as a guy's game.

Wrong. This game really works your brain out. Strategies discussions run high with tension as some will tout one way over someone else's.

Originally I bought this game only...

Pros: Great gameplay and story.
Cons: Can be too long in missions. Too many people write about it.

Starcraft. While some fans prefer Command and Conquer to Starcraft, they are a dwindling amount, with the middling success of Tiberian Sun a wan beacon to the genre. While C&C started it all, and I still prefer the old C&C to any other game,...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, Units, Online Features
Cons: Frustrating, Difficulty, Runs poorly on old PC's, Online sometimes lags

The reason I bought Starcraft is that I played both Warcraft I and II and loved them. You can imagine that I was completely blown out of the water when I played Starcraft for the first time. The graphics, plot, and sheer vastness of Starcraft don't...

Pros: Best game I've ever played
Cons: On battle.net, it can get slow on games with too many people

This is the best game I have right now. If you know Blizzard software (Warcraft II, Diablo) then you know how good their stuff is, but I think this tops them all. Starcraft is an interactive game much like Warcraft II, but it has 3 races: Terrans, the...

Pros: Addictive multiplayer, great sound, detailed graphics, fun gameplay
Cons: Unit Limitation

Although I purchased this game about two years ago, I still find myself playing it with my friends online. This has to be one of, if not the best, real-time strategy games out there. There is very little I have to complain about with this game, but I'll...

Pros: Addictive and fun!
Cons: Nothing

This game is a great strategy and war game. You can fight with people over the Internet, play the single player game, or build your own maps for the multiplayer option (battle people over the Internet). There are three different races in this game....

Pros: Innovative in the respect that the races aren't evenly balanced.
Cons: still the same gather resources/build up forces/destroy the other player kind of game.

My friends and I were engrossed in Warcraft II for a very long time. We played the expansion pack, The Dark Portal, and were even insane enough to send each other PUDS, also known as player created scenarios saved on a disk, for our birthdays! Needless...

Pros: Everything. Perfect balance of gameplay and graphics.
Cons: Even with 3 races to master, the game is too short.

Blizzard has done it again. Starcraft easily builds upon the greatness that Warcraft II was. Being a huge Warcraft II fan, I really didn't think Blizzard could better an already perfect game. Then I got Starcraft. I was pleasantly surprised. Starcraft...

Pros: Great Mac game, even for slower Macs
Cons: Took 1 year to come to the Mac

I won't go too heavily into detail about the game, its features, objective, etc... But I will say for Macintosh users that this game runs great on my G3/350. I haven't had a single crash, the interface is well thought out. My kensington multi-button...

Pros: challenging, fun, multi-player is a blast
Cons: addictive

Now that I've got your attention, presumably, I'd like to support Starcraft as my choice for a game that should definitely be in your gaming library.

First of all, the game is really easy to pick up. I watched me friends play and thought, wow,...

Pros: Great Game
Cons: Too addicting

StarCraft is an amazing game. With a multi-player mode and a single player mode with 3 races and 25 missions each, this game is one of my favorites. You can play as one of three races: Terran, Protoss, and Zerg. The object is to destroy your opponents...

Pros: great graphics, months of playing fun
Cons: none

The galaxy is under attack by vicious aliens. It is up to you and your crew to form intergalactic relations with another species of alien and annihilate the enemy and reclaim your worlds. Are you up to the task? During your mission you will not only...

Pros: Everything
Cons: none

Great strategy game,fun and lasts long,especially with the explansion pack.Also great to play long online games.No 3d accellerator card needed replay value is good, but not much replay is needed when u can play online.Fun factor is good. Very much like...

Pros: Enthralling gameplay, hours of fun
Cons: Addictive, cutscenes and language in the Single Player missions may be offensive

You MUST resist the StarCraft phenomenon! This game is SO fun that you will waste your life away playing it.

Of course, if you aren't hooked up to the 'Net, or if you don't have friends to play with over a LAN, then the danger is much...
