Games
The StarCraft series includes a core set of titles which carry the main storyline. These games were released in chronological order, with each new title following on from the events that are depicted in the previous title. A full second game, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, was released on July 27, 2010, taking place 4 years after the end of Brood War. Two expansions, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, were planned from the beginning; the former was released on March 12, 2013.
All the games in the main series are real-time strategy games, where the player views the events as a military commander for each of the three species. In addition, two spin-off titles have been released; these are authorized expansion packs to the original which focus on other characters and settings based at the same time as the main storyline. Like the main series, these two titles are also real-time strategy games. A spin-off, StarCraft: Ghost, which was to be a third person action-stealth game was in development, but has been placed on indefinite hiatus.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
—Chinese proverb.
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
