Something I Enjoy

     Usually when i am bored after finishing my homework, i will turn on my computer and play Starcraft II Wings Of Liberty. It is a strategy game where you have to gather resources, make buildings, train units and attack your opponent. The game has three different races to choose from. They are Terran, Zerg and Protoss.

     The Terrans are like us humans, but they have higher technology as the game is set during the 26th century.Compared to the Protoss and Zerg, the Terrans are endure frequent wars amongst themselves in addition to the more recent conflicts with their alien neighbors. The leader of the Terrans is Jim Raynor, who you will play as in the campaign.

     The Zerg is a biological race, which uses larvae to morph units.The Zerg as a whole are extremely tough, tenacious, and deadly. Their leader is Sarah Kerrigan, who is Jim Raynor's ex-girlfriend, who was kidnapped and infested by the Zerg, and turned into the Queen of Blades.

     Lastly, there is the Protoss, which is my preferred race to play as. They are technologically advanced race that come from the planet Aiur. They are loyal towards their planet and would sacrifice themselves for Aiur. What makes them different is the fact that they do not have mouths, noses or visible ears and they lack a sense of taste. They communicate telepathically with each other. The Protoss have different leaders. For example, the leader of the Dark Templar ( which is a unit ) is Zeratul and the leader of the High Templar is Tassadar.

       You can either play the campaign of this game or play online with your friends or other people. I believe that Starcraft is a phenomenal game because of its storyline, gameplay and even the music. Although it took 10 years to make, i think the people who had to wait for that long would think that it was well worth the wait. There are alot of Starcraft commentators, who cast games between professional players and upload the videos to Youtube. I too watch the videos to get a better understanding on the different strategies of the different races. I spend most of my free time playing this game as i enjoy it alot.

     I would certainly recommend this game to all of you, if your parents are willing to spend about $100 for you. It has good graphics, the gameplay is perfect and the soundtrack is addictive. If your parents are proud of you and would buy for you something, i would definitely recommend you to ask them to buy this game.

    Here is a video on one of my favourite casters. Enjoy :).
