Since we don’t all play the same games here at Spawn Kill, voting for a unified winner just won’t work out and do justice to our favorite games. So a few of us decided to share out Top 5 (and a specialty pick) this week before we’re deafened by 2011′s sex machine cranking sounds of amazing games to come (like L.A. Noire, clearly)."
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."
Good list for a change!
I've only played one of those (ME2) but do own GoW3 and AC:B. And I've heard nothing but good things about 999. Maybe I'll finally be caught up with 2010's games by the time 2011 is done... *sigh*
Starcraft twooooooooooooo /pcgamer
Yeah I'm happy to see something like 999 on any lists. I haven't even played it and can just feel that it deserves more recognition than its marketing gave it.
Great list! I'm really liking that DK is up there too, it's different from the norm! No Red Dead Redemption is interesting, but I like interesting =]
