RTS Game
If you know what Blizzard is, odds are you already know what an RTS is. RTS's are games where you need to plan some shit out before attacking, getting troops, defending your base, or even giving a fuck in general. They're really a blast to play, especially with bros over the interwebs. Or even consoles if your desperate.
RTS's Around the world
A lot of countries play RTS's in the same way that some of use play fighting games, competitively agains hundreds. Thats what E-Sports is all about, really.
But of all the most popular E-Sports countries, South Korea has to be the best. These fuckers can take out squads and shit like you don't even motherfucker. These manly fucks have true skills in terms of Starcraft, and probably every other RTS if they tried them. ZERG RUSH KEKEKEKE.
Shit like this http://www.gomtv.net/ is where you can see some good 'ol RTS action done by ol' SK.

System
Age of Empires
A well-known daddy of RTS games, Age of Empires offers very good RTS gameplay in a game that will have no problem running on any computer available today. Still goes strong even after 15 years.
1997
Very basic online from Gamespy (1st party online support removed)
PC
Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde
The best RTs you've never played. I honestly feel like this would have done better had it been on PC, but the fucktards at Jaleco kept it console exclusive. It was on PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube. Such a shame.
2003
Yes, Local
PS2, Xbox, or GC
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans
Ol' Blizzy's first RTS. Seeing how old this is, you could probably run this shit on a fucking toaster or sumtin'.
1994
Nope
PC
Warcraft II
1996
Yes
PC, PS1, SS
Warcraft III: Reign Of Chaos/The Frozen Throne
Probably THE (if not one of the) greatest RTS games of all time. The graphics are pretty good and are nice for an RTS from '02/'03. The dlc is recommended due to it being so full of exra shit etc. There's also a huge mod community for this one that doesn't seem to be dwindling. Shit like DoTA came about through modding this game. Best way to buy this is through the War Chest, which can be found at most major retailers like Wal or K-Mart.
2002/2003
Yes
PC
Starcraft / Brood War
Game is basically Warcraft, BUT IN SPACE AH! Choose one of 3 races of people, Terran, the humans, Protoss, the techie aliens, and the Zerg, the evil bad enough dudes. Just like most RTS's construct your base and use strategy to defeat your enemy. Pretty nice cinematics for 1998, as well as some great 2D-ish graphics. Brood War is like a part 2 expansion, N64 version has both and a new expansion and a split-screen multiplayer, so thats pretty fucking great too. Best bought as the Battle Chest due to it having errthing Starcraft OG.
1998/1999
Yes
PC, MAC, N64
DoTA 2
A.K.A. "Defense Of The Ancients". Pretty good sequel to WCIII mod done by Valve of all people.
