I can't speak for Ground Control II, but I played Warcraft III a lot, beta tested the expansion, and played the retail version of The Frozen Throne for a while.

It's definitely a good game. However, because the game is in a constant state of flux as new patches come out and various gameplay mechanics are continuously adjusted, you need to devote a lot of time to keep on top of the correct strategies and counter-strategies, and to stand a chance in online play.

Although I liked warcraft III, its nothing new. Its what is known as a "polished turd". There isn't one new thing in wcIII that isn't in some other game. As far as ground control II is concerned, I've played the original and enjoyed it very much although it did get a little tedious after a while.

I played warcraft when it first came out but never appealed to me. I'm more of an Adventure gamer.

Grog is the drink of choice for Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate, from the adventure game series Monkey Island. LucasArts was the developer of this game.
