Talking Fans of Starcraft rejoice!
Starcraft 2 is coming!

The original game owes me months of my life in 1997 and 1998.

Was Counter-Strike for me...but even more so was Day of Defeat. Used to come home and play that. Studying was what I did between gaming.

I wonder if Blizzard will screw it up.

For me i think they should keep it simple, with some new stuff.

And not overdue the graphics like everyone does these days.


K.I.S.S!!!!!!!!

Thankfully I was in 1st year uni before I got any Blizzard games. Now I have Warcraft 1, 2, and 3 including the Frozen Throne expansion, Starcraft: Brood War, and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. My results slowly but surely turned to crap (one reason why I've taken the year off)

I love Starcraft.

This news came out when I was at a LAN on a Saturday night. Needless to say the admins who have net access instantly downloaded the trailer and played it on the projector for us

Yes yes, holy thread mine batman.....

digging this one up to illustrate that it has been over three (3) years since the official announcement of Starcraft II. That's how long I've been waiting for this little puppy now released on 27 July 2010.

That's a long time to 'wait for perfection'. Having said that, has anyone purchased and played a bit of it yet? If so, what are your impressions so far.

This game robbed me of literally months of my life and gave me a bad case of RSI!! And I've been putting off upgrading my computer until I knew what the desired specs were to run the game.

Can't beleive the amount of time that's elapsed between Starcraft 1 and 2. I'm getting my copy while I'm in town this week.

Spewing its not available on Steam, I'm feeling way too lazy to go buy it at the moment, would love to just give Steam my credit card details and download it.

Oh well, I can wait.

Maybe.

I have a JB Gift voucher from my birthday, I can make it to the store before close...

but I'm feeling lazy!

Back in the days when graphics took a back seat to gameplay and storyline. Too bad, its the other way around now (mostly). EA leads the trend on that one I reckon, with them its all about churning out new short repetitive games with extra pixels, they even ruined their own need for speed series.

Also Gas, if you're a lazy bastard like me, JB Hifi ship to your door now, you can order through their website.

I ordered a home theater setup a few days ago, it come to my door in a few buisiness days
