The Light and Dark of Video Games: Sarah Kerrigan
Though video games have matured over the past decade, the brilliance of Starcraft cannot be discounted. As a vehicle for story telling, Starcraft brought a new level of maturity to a sea of PC gamers. The multiplayer aspect of Starcraft has survived in tournaments across the nation, and even went on to become the national sport of South Korea, and while this is an achievement in gaming, the massive popularity also helped to take the spotlight off of the games fantastic single player campaign.
