Blizzard’s Starcraft II: Hell, it’s about time!
Filed in: Entertainment, Games Add comments

My favorite real-time strategy game is coming! Blizzard’s Starcraft II which features a new RTS 3D engine and new characters is set to be released sometime this year. Hopefully before the Christmas holidays.

Highlights of the game (from Blizzard’s site) are:
- Tightly balanced competitive real-time strategy gameplay that recaptures and improves on the magic of the original game
- New units and gameplay mechanics that further distinguish the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races
- An all-new 3D engine that supports fast-paced play with realistic physics, massive units, and massive army sizes
- A groundbreaking single-player campaign that continues the epic StarCraft story
- Full-featured multiplayer support through an overhauled version of Battle.net
- A powerful map editor that puts the tools used by the game’s designers into the hands of players
Some more screenshots below:




Ohhh, have you seen the cinematic trailer? Man, it’s wicked! The inmate (Terran Marine) looks like Incredible Hulk on steroids! A lot of geeks at WWI South Korea watched this in awe.
Look at the gameplay, units (part 1, part 2) woohoo!
I’ve been playing the 1st Starcraft since it was released and I am pretty excited to play SC2. Can’t wait… is it out yet?
