So after seeing the Blizzcon footage, I was craving for a Blizzard game.  I was really hyped for the Diablo III footage, so naturally I decided to get the Warcraft III battlechest.  I'm a story guy and I knew that DII didn't have that much of a story, but WCIII did.  So WCIII it was.  Man, this game is great.  And it holds up, even today.  Now I'm not a WoW player, but I did play the original WC and WCII back in the day.  And back in gradschool, I did play WCIII, but didn't get too far.  So I came back at it ready for some cool story/RTS action.   Like all the Blizzard games, the production values are great.  The story is engaging, and the characters are interesting and fun to play/interact with.  The best part about this game is the fact that the missions are so varied.  One of the reason's I stopped playing RTS's was that I just didn't like building bases, making a huge army and then killing the other forces.  While this games has a fair share of that, it wraps it in a shell that makes the game seem varied, and fresh.  For anyone out there who hasn't played this game, man get it.
