Erik Hetkamp - "Warcraft III : The Frozen Throne"

Warcraft 3 : TFT is a tactical computergame. You can play alone and try the campaing or play with other gamers on internet.In the multiplayer mode you can choose four races : the Orcs, the Humans, the Undead and the Nightelves. Thecleverly devised gamebalance allows many tactics. You can also choose if you want to play 1on1 (you against anothergamer) or 2on2 and so on. There is also a ladder system on the Battle.net (the internet platform where gamers play on).With every win you gain exerpience and get new levels to play vs. better gamers. With a special statistic you can getnew pictures for your profile. You can join guilds and play on tournaments. There is also a chat system and you have afriendslist where you can see what your friends are playing. In the internet exists a special language named "dude speek" (f.e. "lol" "wtf" "noob" "gosu" : lol = laughing out loud,wtf = what the fuck?, noob = newbie [a new gamer who has not enough gaming experience] , gosu = god of Starcraftuniverse {very early strategy game}). Without this speech you are helpless in this "world".In the campaign and multiplayer you have some heroes who gain experience by killing mobs and other heroes. With every new level you can choose different skills like "Death-Coil" or "Healing-Wave". In the campaign modus you haveto play the given race and to solve the quests (there are main and secondary orders to fill). The whole story and gaming atmosphere is very deep because of the video sequences which introduce your quests (f.e. you have to bring a stolen book back to its owner or hold importaint points on the map).Warcraft III : TFT is my favourite game because it requires a certain understanding of tactical elements. It connectsenthralling action with logical thinking.
