With the death of the Orcish Warchief Blackhand, his underling Orgrim Doomhammer was quick to seize control over the most powerful of the Orcish forces on Azeroth. Although each day finds other factions growing stronger within the chaotic Horde, it seems certain that all of the clans will follow Orgrim's plans to hunt down and destroy the renegade Azerothiens wherever they choose to run...

Sir Lothar, in charge of the scattered armies of Azeroth since the death of King Llane, has led his people across the Great Sea to the shores of Lordaeron. By enlisting the armies of Lordaeron, and making new allies in the Elves and Dwarves, a mighty force known as the Alliance has been forged. Now, the last of the once great armies of Azeroth seek retribution for the loss of their homeland.

Warcraft may not have been the first in the series of Strategy games, but certainly is among the best. Warcraft is the first game to bring strategy to the masses.

In Warcraft your objective is to destroy the enemy (you can play as an orc or as a human), you do this by building up armies, of different types of characters called units. You can build footmen, Elven archers, Elven rangers, paladins, ballista and mages. There are also several types of vehicles and buldings that you can create. In order to win the mission or the game, you have to come up with the right mix of units.

Warcraft is fun, for some strange, unexplainable carnal reason, the game is really enjoying. I don't know if it is silly grunts that the units make when you send them on a task, or if it is cartoonish graphics. The game is fun, it is also addicting. When playing Warcraft you could easily spend several hours.
