Modern day RTS (real time strategy) games live dual lives – on one hand they are a central pillar of the e-sports community, the Starcraft franchise easily one of the most prominent thanks to a devoted following in Korea. On the other hand, they feature quirky, often exceptionally clichéd campaigns focusing on outlandish characters in soap-opera situations. Once again Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm leads the pack with Blizzard’s trademark blend of armchair tactics and movie quality cinematics. Continuing on the story started in Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm changes perspective to Sarah Kerrigan, once leader of the Zerg forces and previously known as the Queen of Blades.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "I recently completed an article series about the history of real-time strategy, and going through so many different games that have shaped the face of the genre over the last 30 years got me thinking. Which real-time strategy titles are the ones that have had the greatest influence on the genre's development throughout its history? What you're reading now is my answer to that particular question."

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "It’s Valentine’s Day, and that means a lot of chocolate, roses and tender moments with those we love the most. And while love might be one of the most powerful emotions of all it’s not exclusive to the realm of us ‘living’ beings as video game characters have proven time and time again that love transcends all dimensions, even virtual ones. So for this very romantic edition of Knights of the Round Cable we are taking a look at our favorite video game couples, the ones that reminds us that love exists in all forms, whether it be pixels or polygons."
