You know, I really don't see why every darn new game released for PC has to be a first person shooter, a sim, an MMO, or a RTS. I'm tired of all of them in their standard forms, and most of all I'm tired of the RTS.

Seriously. You build units. You point someplace. You click. You have to micromanage them just to move around a rock. It's not fun.

I've tried to get into RTS's before...I remember really trying with Age of Empires I and II. Is Starcraft a substantially different experience?

I think the coolest RTS I've ever played was Battlestations: Midway, because you didn't have to mine for resources, and you could individually control the units directly. Way cool. None of this detached crap from every other RTS I've touched.
