King™.
We are all waiting with greedy
little hands and flaming breath, determined to be the first
to get our hands on a copy. At least I am!
The original
Warcraft game, Warcraft®: Orcs &
Humans™
voted one of the best
strategy games of 1994, (in my humble opinion THE
BEST) and the sequel, 1995's Warcraft® II: Tides of
Darkness™, won several awards,
including "Game of the Year". (Imagine that!)
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, was
released in July 2002. It has also won
several w00ts and become one
of the standards of professional gaming, along with its
expansion pak Warcraft® III: The Frozen
Throne™, released in July 2003. Since
then they have literally become a part of our every
day lives. Yes boss, even around the water cooler!
As for the future of Blizzard

soon, so put on your gtauntlets get out your sword, call
in the team, get online and Get It On!
