              WHAT'S THE MEANING?

              Real-Time Strategy, also known as RTS, is a sub-genre of video games that heavily depends on calculated decision-making. Players of real-time strategy games are require to think and act quickly. In RTS, time is of the essence. Moreover, it require players to simultaneously gather resources and then manage them to build units and buildings to secure areas of the game map and/or destroy their opponents' base.

              DID YOU KNOW?

              Did you know that playing StarCraft actually makes you smarter? Yes, you read that right. Considered to be one of the best RTS games for PC, StarCraft is a good avenue to enhance your cognitive flexibility. This claim is supported by the study conducted by researchers at Queen Mary University and University College London. The study reveals that real-time strategy games have greatly improved the ability of the students to think on the fly as opposed to turn-based strategy games. Parents are generally bothered by the fact that you, their children, are getting addicted to these games. So the next time you get scolded by them, tell them that they are just more than video games. PC RTS games train you to self-analyze. This aspect teaches you to treasure all your turns and make more tactical moves to utilize your turn because every turn is unique. What's even cooler is that real-time strategy games improve your decision-making skills. Just like every turn, every game is a new experience for learning new techniques. So to all the newbies, do not ever hesitate to ask for some advice from the pro players. You can even visit some gaming news websites to gain more insights. With all the benefits of RTS games, always bear in mind to enjoy everything in moderation.
