Star Craft / War Craft, Comandos and My Brother

Season greetings to everyone!
I hope you have a playful vacation! ^^

I started playing Star Craft, War Craft and Comandos when I was 12-13.
My impression for Star Craft / War Craft is that the free fighting mode is more interesting than the "Mission" mode.
It's so cool whenever there's an upgrade and we can upgrade more in free mode.
My brother disagrees with me. He thinks that I play Star Craft / War Craft "like a girl", well... I am! He told me that we are fighting, not building our troops all fabulous. He doesn't care much for upgrading but more for completing the missions. How can one succeed if he/ she doesn't have a strong army with well equiped troops? >.<
By the way, to me, Star Craft and War Craft are the same. I understand arguments saying they are different but I don't see much.

As for Comandos, we don't have lots of upgrading but the strategies for each scene are different. Again, my brother complains to me how I want to keep everyone safe and sound, no blood loss, just like "mom takes care of us". Sometimes due to this reason I cannot accomplish a mission. I sometimes wish we have only timed bombs so that we don't have to drag our soldiers out into the field. It's also very scary to sneak behind someone to stab with a knife because the enemy is just so close... Anyhow, for my brother, he doesn't care who dies (in the game), he cares about the mission. Ugh! How can he be so ignorant?!? >.<

What interests me is that players behave different when playing games according to their gender. Do you agree?
I play differently from my brother because I am female and he is male?
What do you think?

I love Warcraft so much.I played it since I was 17 years old but not anymore because I already win most of the campaign in this game but anyway I still sometimes play it online with my friends cause by pesonnally, I like this game charactor especially Orc clans and Human Clans. Anyway if u guys never try this game I recommended u to try at least once and maybe u will get addict with it.
