A Warcraft Retrospective from Gametrailers.com
On top of the nostalgia-riddled look at past incarnations of Warcraft, the retrospective provides insight into the origins of things such as the RTS genre itself and perhaps one of the first map editors that ended up in user hands, setting the stage for just about every RTS to start providing one baseline. Entertaining and educational! Uh, sort of. I really do recommend watching it, though. It's only a click away, so go on! Hit play!
[ Thanks, Ray, James and Colyn! ]

Gametrailers.com is awesome. They have a bunch of good Retrospectives on the site as well. The Metal Gear and Final Fantasy ones are really good. You guys should check them out as well

I currently have the MGS, Metroid, FF, and Zelda ones on my portable harddrive that I will watch sometimes on my Xbox 360 while playing WoW. Very fun, very informative.
The FF one is even better then the one packaged with FFXII CE

Holy crap, voice-acting used to be terrible.

Oh, jeez ... Utopia!
I used to spend hours playing that! Damn rebels would always take out my schools.
A pretty entertaining overview. Oh and those horrible voice-overs were innovative at the time :)

I watched it last night. Epic as always.
I hope this one goes on for as long as FF or SW Retro.

Wow....
That was just amazing...
Now I kinda want to dig through my closet and find my old copies of the first two games and just play through them for old times sake...
