Starcraft II Preview

As a child growing up, first getting into the computer was definitely a time of my life I can recall. Since the majority of kids spend at least half of their time at home on the computer, first getting into it can definitely be a life changing event. When I first started playing video games on a weekly basis, Starcraft was my game.

I was immediately addicted to Starcraft. I loved the all-out wars you can have in starcraft, as well as the fact that you can wage global war, get awesome powerful units, and go annihilate anything you pleased! I liked all of the different races in the game, since they all had their own special abilities. The protoss were essentially aliens and were able to build with one constructer, which was definitely convenient. The zerg could mass-produce units because they all came from one building, and the terran were excellent siege. I played across all races, and the game never got boring! I could manage to play this game for hours at a time, sometimes even across a whole weekend where I had nothing better to do. Playing online was definitely an awesome experience as well, playing with other players was awesome. You'll also have access to some of the coolest and most unique maps and game styles while playing online, because you can share and download maps from other players while using the game online. Battle.net is definitely an awesome online gaming service from blizzard too, and this service is completely free, as well as up to speed and without any lag!

And now we hear news of a Starcraft II coming out within the next year?! Hearing this has probably stirred up some of us old Starcraft fans. I personally haven't been into Starcraft lately, but I Have played other Blizzard RTS games, such as Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. But when I heard Starcraft II was going to come out, I nearly set down everything else and went to the store and purchased it. Then I realized the game might not be coming out for quite some time.
