Starcraft - One of the best RTS ever

A real time strategy player that doesn't played Starcraft can't be called a player.
With more than 50 awards during the last 7-8 years Blizzard is capable to say that it owns one of the best strategy game ever. If you search the internet you can even read a GameSpot PC article named "Computer Gaming World awards" dated February 23, 1999! Blilzzard won "Strategy Game of the Year" and "Add-On Product of the Year" with Starcraft.

Starcraft story
In the distant future a small group of human exiles have been doomed to fight for survival on the edge of the galaxy. Through military strength, espionage and deceit, a unified Terran government has maintained an uneasy peace. As resources run short, however, these Confederate nations find themselves looking towards the rich worlds of their alien neighbors, the enigmatic Protoss. To further complicate matters, it seems that a previously unknown and deadly species known only as the Zerg has entered Protoss space and is destroying everything in its path. The time for war has come...
As the military leader for your species, you must gather the resources you need to train and expand your forces and lead them to victory. 30 unique missions will challenge you across three different campaigns as you control the fate of the galaxy.

Seeing all those new strategy games, most of them without a good story behind but a lot of graphics detailes that suck all your system resources for nothing, I joined this days the Starcraft Battlefield. What I have seen made me write this blog and made me say: Starcraft, ladies and gentlemen, was, is and will be one of the top 3 strategy games ever and Blizard is #1 in building strategy games.
