StarCraft II Single-Player Details Revealed 206
As Blizzcon approaches, a number of gaming sites were invited out to California to get an early look at the single-player campaign for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Kotaku has a detailed write-up (spoiler-free version), and 1Up summarizes one of the missions: "... you're on a planet with an alternating day/night cycle (every five minutes, it switches): during daylight, you're safe. You can build forces and go out and destroy structures. At night, the infected Terrans will relentlessly stream towards your base — necessitating a strong defense against the 'zombie horde.'" An interview with some of the developers is available, in which lead designer Dustin Browder says Blizzard will continue their trend of having downloadable maps and other improvements throughout the game's life. BlizzPlanet posted a mission guide for the part of the game they got to see, and new video footage has been released that shows off the single-player mode.

As if Starcraft wasn't damage enough, now comes Starcraft 2. Millions of young South Korean men idling away their lives on multiplayer servers. I think Blizzard's done them more damage than the Japanese occupation.

Warcraft(s), Diablo(s), Starcraft(s)....These guys are the Tom Petty of video games; they just can't write a bad game.
Maybe they'll get smart and include 40 hours of marriage counseling with this one...

Of course not. In Korea, only old people play Starcraft.

But then it's just Warcraft III, and that's just not as good.

I am still waiting on my damn Lost Vikings 3.
I think that part near the end of LV2 where Erik had to jump over a shark was an indication that they don't think there's much left to do with the franchise.
Though on the other hand I made that up.

That's actually a cool idea. Play the role of a Ghost doing espionage against the enemy. There's a lot of potential when you flesh out the roles. Next up: Galaxy of StarCraft (GoS) to replace WoW. I'd hate to be the zerg guy that gets turned into a building.

It wouldn't be fair to add cyborgs/robots to the mix. The robot overlords would win every time and StarCraft aims to have good balance.

Given about half the quests in WOW boil down to "Go get 20 Murloc penises".
