There is more customizability for WC3. I like DoTA, so I'll vote for WC.

Although both are good I would choose Frozen Throne. Speaking of Blizzard though I would choose the Diablo series over both of those.

warcraft is much more fun to play compared to starcraft due to the huge age gap

For a start I think that Starcraft's 2D graphics were better than warcraft3's 3d ones but this is just me, and I don't like the concept of heroes in war3 just because if you get to have 3 of them then you allready have a force to reckon with and the units are just there to compensate. As somebody said it before me you can train less units in war3 which is a bad thing for a strategy game. I've got to admit that the control in war3 is somewhat easier thanks to autocasting and other things I don't remember (I played it for a half month or so just to learn it's every function and how usefull it really was) and it wouldn't have hurt if Starcraft would have had these features but oh well.. some may say that these minor things detract from the strategy makeing life easier but as somebody else said in another forum "why work harder when you can work smarter" I have to give war3 credit for these minor features that make the game a little more pleasant but that's it. I really liked the whole story of Starcraft and I couldn't care less of war3's personally. Starcraft was my second strategy game played after C&C Tiberian Sun which although I admit it holds a special place in my heart (along with Starcrft <_< ) it seemed somewhat cheap building all those units until you can't play anymore because of lag and so many units (kinda' dislike the no-limit training rule of the C&C Series but oh well..). I also liked Tiberian Sun's whole story but not as much as starcraft's one though and again couldn's care less of war3's, the game just didn't fit my preferences. I'm not going to touch the costom editor's functions in both games because If I play a game it is because of it's gameplay not it's ability to create maps for you to apply that gameplay :(. I've also recently started to hang around Total Annihilation, sure the whole story is the cream a la crap the stuff you don't want to step into, the bottom of the barrel if you will heh but it's idea of resource management is a new one implemented in strategy games (resources are infinite and the one thing that makes the difference is your ability to increase your income at a faster rate than your enemie's thus eliminating the scenario when somebody runs out of resources and is basicly out of the game, I'm not saying it isn't a strategy, I just say it's just a little cheap that's all). Back to the original debate, about the rushes, many say that they are harder to withstand in Starcraft but this is a good thing actually (not totally) because you then learn to micro better and to eventually get past them easily making them obsolete ultimately unless in a 2 vs. 2 or higher where your ally has got to intervene to keep the game running. All in all I think they are both great games and apart from the time gap between them in the end it just comes down to personal preference.

I really like the story in StarCraft better. The only thing that I dislike about StarCraft is the lack of new units in the expansion pack

Starcraft. The races are more interesting, faster gameplay and it has darker atmosphere.

Even though WC3 is much more advanced when it comes to graphics, I've always liked Starcraft because it's set in the future.
