A classic genre in the PC gaming community is real time strategy (RTS) games. These include hugely popular titles or series like the Age of Empires series and spin-offs and the Command and Conquer series. In these games you can start with a small village or unit and build up cities and armies to fight against others in real time. They are games about strategy, managing time and resources effectively. One title has taken the genre past the casual level. Starcraft II is developed by Blizzard, the company that brought you World of Warcraft. The game unusually takes place in a science fiction universe rather than the traditional historical point of view. In the game and it’s expansions you can take the side of either humans or an alien species, the Zerg. As a casual player if feels like any other RTS game, a great addition to the genre. If you wanted to try something a little more intense you can delve into the multiplayer part of the game. This has become hugely popular across South East Asia with eSport competitions taking place with tens of thousands of spectators. This is not for the faint of heart though as competitors have managed to utilise their time to such an extent that it can be daunting for new players!
