  Welcome to the World of Warcraft…if only Blizzard knew back in 1994 the power of those few words.

  Back in 1994, Blizzard Entertainment wasn’t exactly a well-known gaming developer. Granted they released Rock n' Roll Racing and The Lost Vikings prior under the name of Silicon & Synapse and granted, both game... Read Full Review

  Blizzard's breakthrough hit was one of the first rays of light before the glorious dawn of a new game genre.

  Where it all started for me :)

  By craigrut | Review Date: Dec 30, 2008 | MAC

  I have to say that this is probably one of the more enjoyable computer games I ever played when I was younger. I think I started playing this when I was about 13 years old, in let's say 7th grade. I was in a technology ... Read Full Review

  Blizzard. Ah yes, Blizzard. Blizzard is the reason I am into the RTS genre, and in fact my favorite RTS game is one of their works. Actually, it is Warcraft III. Still, I had played WC2, and of course WC3, and also WoW..... Read Full Review

  Best Warcraft game

  By Shmoe82 | Review Date: Aug 04, 2007 | MAC

  If you haven't played this game before than your might not agree with me that this is the best game by Blizzard. A few reason may be because the graphics suck by todays standards, the units cap becomes noticable at high... Read Full Review
