Yep,another new series! This one will be the most informative,and its going to be about,obviously (seeing as this is a gaming website), gaming companies and stuff like that,and this time,its about Blizzard Entertainment!

Who still doesn't know of Blizzard?! Nobody,that's who! Who hasn't played at least one of their games? I sure hope all of you played at least one,because if you didn't....i pity you! Many people will agree that Blizzard is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) company ever,since in the last few years they lost any real competition,mostly because they never failed to respect the rule of not releasing the game until it gets to a desired level of quality,which can often take years.

This kind of rule gives them more free space to do their devilishly awesome games (which are so awesome that it could only be done by selling their soul to the devil! But as with every bussines,Blizzard started fairly small,and grew into a fucking giant year by year,step by step.

Way back in February 1991,Michael Morhaime,Allen Adham and Frank Pearce sold their souls to the devil and created a small gaming development studio named Silicon & Synapse. At that time,they were just porting games to other systems forother companies,but in 1992.,they published and made their first game called The Lost Vikings,a platforming game where you control three vikings named Erik,Baelog and Olaf.

Soon,we got Rock N' Roll Racing for Super Nintendo and Mega Drive/Genesis published by Interplay (which had a lot of popular songs licensed at the time,like Born To Be Wild). Next year we got Blackthorne,Death and Return of Superman,and the game which left a permament mark on the RTS genre,and games in general-Warcraft:Orcs & Humans (published by Davidson & Associates)! They also changed their name to Chaos Studios,but after they saw that there was already a company called Chaos Studios,they changed their name to Blizzard Entertainment.

Now,you all know what followed,and fast forward today and i fucking hate Blizzard until they publish Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 :P
