Hell.....it's about DAMN TIME

I stumbled upon this video on youtube the other day while surfing around the internet in a cyber cafe while waiting for a dota game to start. What you are about to see now is not for the eyes of a RTS fan for the video is so shocking yet still one cannot help but weep with joy and know that life as it is will never be the same come october 2007. Behold....the dawn of a new era.

Lazy to watch the video when you are having sucky internet connection speeds? Well here's a summary for you. Think about one of the most famous RTS(Real Time Strategy) games during the late 20th century. Think of the game that has won countless awards for best RTS game and best game during that period as well. And...think of it as a Blizzard production. Haha caught your attention already? I should have. In the past Blizzard have been well known to create games that were just plain darn good. Their number of games are few and limited, but they always substitute quantity with quality. What's the use producing that many games that no one bothers to purchase in the end? A fine testimony to their latest production; World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade has been a mouth watering anticipation before it's release with a healthy 8 million suscribers playing the game beforehand.

So back to the game, and straight to the point. Starcraft 2 will be out in stores on October 1 2007 worldwide. The trailer, although short and a little too many flashbacks, has set the adrenaline pumping and gave new hope that there's a reason to live after all. With mouth watering CGI cinematics and a continuation to the storyline (i hope), this is one game i'll be willing to part 10 bucks with. When we last played the game, we saw the Zerg emerged as the total victors over the other 2 races with the Terrans(humans) and Protoss completely annihilated and the "queen of the blades" Kerrigan assumming complete control of the Zerg swarms and ultimately, the universe. This time around, both the Terrans and Protoss are back with a whole bunch of new units and kickass weapons that will send a warning to the Zerg that it wont be that easy come round 2.

With the trailer being short and the game demo somewhat simple, there is still a lot of promise for this game. After all, the game is still in it's production stages and any edits can be made at any time. If it's a good award winning game that we want, rest assured that Blizzard have proved themselves over and over again to bring out games that will be featured in WCG tournaments, played in every household, be the talk of town and of course, selling so many copies they'll have enough money to swim in it. And i just hope that they dont know how to swim.
