DualShockers writes, "This is how much of a StarCraft noob I am – until a few months ago, I had no idea the original game had any narrative value at all, I thought it was just one big multiplayer experience. Boy was I wrong! So, I caught up on the story from the first game and delved right into the second. Now I’m about half a dozen missions in and it is actually a fun, exhilarating experience!"
Love, betrayal, and insectoid alien thingies that infest you until you beg for death—StarCraft has everything that gives lasting power to any space opera. Since Blizzard’s seminal real-time strategy game debuted in 1998, it has spawned an intense cult following, launched a reinvention of the global esports scene, and redefined the RTS genre all at the same time. Ten years after the sequel, TechRaptor takes a look at the legacy StarCraft II has forged.
i think these articles are misleading. wings of liberty is literally dead. so is heart of the swarm. Blizzard moved everything over to Legacy of the Void. if someone can let me know how to play wings of liberty or HOTS, let me know.

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."
i find the articles coming from new players a really nice compliment to experienced gamer reviews b/c it gives a great perspective to those fans on the fence about trying out a particular game for the first time. kudos.
*Grab your torch and pitchforks* NOOB MUST DIE! :P but in seriousness, some people are noob...I mean new to the RTS franchise and they have enjoyed it themselves.
Not bad read.
I am getting better and better at this game as I go. I recommend to all noobs to have a custom match and do a 10 minute truce with your friends to learn the tech tree.
I'm a total noob at this game. Never even saw StarCraft 1. Didn't even know it was an RTS until last year. Just bought SC2 a few days ago and I'm addicted. I'm terrible at it but addicted. I get my butt handed to me every single match I play online but I'm learning and want to get better. The game is great!!!!!
