StarCraft II

Good news! Blizzard is planning to release StarCraft II!. Well, I suppose it is good news if you love Real-time Strategy (RTS) games that is. I seldom get to play anything these days but when I do it is always a Blizzard game.

In reading about the game and listening to some of IGN’s podcasts it sounds like Starcraft II is going to primarily be a graphical upgrade to the original StarCraft game with a few twists and turns. I was hoping it would be an evolution of the gaming engine used for Warcraft III (and it still might be). Instead, it sounds like they are going to keep the graphics rich and the gameplay balanced with a contuation of the original story line.

Make sure to check out gameplay and cinematic movies to get a feel of the game. It appears there are strong influences from StarWars I and War of the Worlds from what I have seen of the Protoss race.

In traditional Blizzard fashion, there is no word as to when the game will be released. It will be done when they say it is done. Gotta love a company that is dedicated to quality and they definitely have a track record to prove it.
