Star Craft II

"StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival.
Featuring a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off, StarCraft II will present a cast of new heroes and familiar faces in an edgy sci-fi story filled with adventure and intrigue. In addition, Blizzard will again offer unparalleled online play through Battle.net, the company's world-renowned gaming service, with several enhancements and new features to make StarCraft II the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game."

Features:

Fast-paced, hard-hitting, tightly balanced competitive real-time strategy gameplay that recaptures and improves on the magic of the original game

Three completely distinct races: Protoss, Terran, and Zerg

New units and gameplay mechanics further distinguish each race

Groundbreaking single-player "story-mode" campaign

Vibrant new 3D-graphics engine with support for dazzling visual effects and massive unit and army sizes

Full multiplayer support, with new competitive features and matchmaking utilities available through Battle.net

Full map-making and scripting tools to give players incredible freedom in customizing and personalizing their gameplay experience

I played the hell out of starcraft on my old mac.
The only game to compete well with C&C, maybe even become better than?
And I will definately be picking up the sequal on the PC as the controlls for these types of games deserve a mouse and Key
Great post!
Great Game!

What are hybrids? I know Xel'Naga are the protoss gods (right?) (creators or what ever, don't remember has been so long.) But is a hybrid like an infected terran? Something along those lines?

I can't wait until the community gets ahold of the map editor. Blizzard said it is more comprehensive than Warcraft 3's was, which in itself is pretty amazing.

They also said that all the old units are going to re-appear in the editor, as well as the new units and new 'scrapped' units.

I can't wait to do the first thing I always do when a new Blizzard RTS comes out...

Click on your units a bunch of times and see what funny things they say.

Hope this game lives up to the hype...dont want another flop but we are talking about Blizzard and not some other company so it should be in good hands.

This game is going to be Awesome! I mean, it is practically Korea's national sport. I mean if Blizzard did not make the game the best it could be, you would see South Korea rising up and invading the North out of pure rage.

OMG, I can't believe it. It's actually what I did first when I got WarCraft 3.

As for the game, I hope it's really good because original SC is my all time fave RTS and my 4th all time fave PC game period.
Still, I'm kinda unhappy with the new art direction and WarCraft 3ish graphics. Also, the new units don't feel original enough and worst of all... WHERE is my ZERG info!?

I think Blizzard is holding off on the Zerg love because they want to perfect the "Zerg Rush Kekekekekekeke" so that when fans finally do get a glimpse of it they will be super impressed.
