Blizzin' it up!

I'm a Blizzard fangirl.  I have been playing Blizzard games since I was a kid (the original Warcraft games) and absolutely love their games.  They are always entertaining, challenging, and just good fun.  I haven't dedicated many posts to Blizzard games so I thought I would do so.

One of my best/most interesting gaming memories was saving up enough money to buy Warcraft III. At the time I remember thinking that $40 was a fortune to pay for a game, but it was a Blizzard game which in my book is pretty much a guarantee of a great game.  (I just laid down $70 for Dragon Age:  Inquisition--crazy!) I spent many hours playing through the main campaign and soaking up the amazing Blizzard characters.  Prince Arthas, the betrayer.  Thrall, the young, green (literally and figuratively) leader of the Orcs.  I can still go back and watch the cinematics from Warcraft III and feel inexplicably happy (the cinematic depicting Arthas's betrayal is one of my all time favorites).  I have played through the game many times and it's always fun.  I think that's a real hallmark of a great game, that it doesn't matter how many times you've played it, you can pop it in and enjoy replaying it for the umpteenth time.

If you're a World of Warcraft player and have never experienced Warcraft III you should check it out.  I was always surprised how many of my WoW playing friends hadn't played Warcraft III.  You will learn so much about the back story and just the world/game in general.
