Um, if you are blind to the fact that Blizzard is one of the best international mega-hit makers of all time, then sadly you need your eyes checked. Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft etc must I keep going? They make nothing but hit makers even with all the flaws.
They are a company in front of the curve never behind it.
Comon, it's Starcraft, what else needs to be said? One of the best and most balanced RTS out there. There are a lot of AI problems but many people would say that's what makes the game so challenging and fun.
Starcraft 2 is also one of the most anticipated games of the freaking decade. Can't wait.
I have nothing to say but "BEST REAL-TIME STRATEGY GAME EVER MADE" that pretty much summarizes the game that kept me up for hours on end trying to beat my friends over Battle.net
An entire nation full of sweaty, bespectacled Koreans can't be wrong. But seriously, the game is so simple that it can hardly be put down according to modern day standards. It is a pure, precise, clean experience, and will probably remain that way.
Lots of time wasted on this. I never got into the RPG games or the free-for-alls. Probably because I sucked at them. 4v4 Shared FTW!! The only bum thing about those games is that the map maxes out on units.
Most critics of starcraft complain about it's graphics, and general 90's feel. We can give them that. The fact that this "ugly" classic is still widely played and adored, however, leads me to classify SC:BW among the ranks of games like chess.

The only downfall, depending on your perspective, to this game would be a partial complaint regarding Battle.net (starcraft's online multiplayer arena). I have played this game since the…
Broodwars is an amazing game, and an amazing expansion to an amazing game. The mere fact that it is as old as it is and still retains mass popularity and play time speaks for itself. If that is not enough the fact it is a national sport in korea, and one of the best tournament games should convince you to run out and get this classic.
One of the best games ever created. Thousands of people still play it years after its release. It's become a national sport in Korea. And it's still damn fun to play. Amazing game.
