StarCraft 2?
 

Back in the day when I used to have time for computer games, StarCraft was one of my favorites. If I'm not mistaken, I believe SC is/was the all-time best selling RTS game ever.

So, supposedly Blizzard finally has SC2 in the works. It will likely be announced next month.

I sure hope SC2 is anywhere as good as the first.

Well... actually, I hope it sucks. :cool: I don't have much free time as it is... I certainly don't need to get hooked on any computer games....

I have heard alot of that game but i never got into it, i guess its not really my kind of game. Half life and half life 2 are my games of choice i have it on computer and xbox i still play that game although i beat it like 30 times i can go through the entire game and not miss anything. I played the online game of Counter Strike i got so good at that they were kicking me from servers saying i had a hack on.

I've never played Half Life, but I guess it's somewhat similar to Counter Strike type games. First person shooters. Some of my friends get together from time to time to play CS for a bit. It's low on resource requirements, so can run from most computers.

StarCraft is similar in a way to C&C Red Alert, etc. Where you command your army and have a view over the whole battlefield. Playing SC at battle.net is probably the best. It's a great game just by itself, but online there are so many unique maps and ways to play the game. It was a lot of fun back when I used to play it. Too much fun, actually. I deleted that game off my computer probably 4+ years ago as I was having too much fun with it and not getting enough work done. :cool: :)

Counter strike was resource friendly, but then counter strike source came out. The source engine used so much i had to do a couple upgrades when i went to source however CS is still the one i play. I use steam for online game i still have a keyboard from when i had my own server it had all the shortcut keys with pieces of paper with what it did so i could just glance and ban some one :)

I always love to play the first starcraft game. I never seen the second edition yet, but I tell you I am sure I will always love to play the old one.

StarCraft 2
 

Unlike the original series, where each game had three 8-10 mission campaigns, one for each race, each game in the StarCraft 2 will have only one 26-30 mission campaign centered around a single race.

The amount of detail in the artwork and the amount of things happening on screen just blew me away. It's a great looking game and best of all it runs at a nice frame rate on a good computer.

I remeber star craft that game was great. I think that was the first computer game that i lost an entire weekend too. Ahh good time, I do wish I had that kind of time to spare these days.

StarCraft 2 is all about broad strategy and perfect timing
 

StarCraft has always been a fast game, and StarCraft 2 has lost none of that speed. The game is all about broad strategy and perfect timing. This is impressive stuff - but also a little intimidating.

Very will said. I too love playing starcraft those day, I was addicted to it sometimes if i don't have work to do in the office i just played that game. We to walmart yesterday and my husband is looking for a game, and I saw starcraft game in there, but it is to expensive to have one.

Intimidating...yes...addicting...even more so.

Starcraft 2 was just postponed (again) until 2010 - http://www.maximumpc.com/article/new...i_delayed_2010

Yeah, I read about that just the other day. I was really looking forward to seeing SC2. Maybe it's better that it wasn't released now, though, as I might have gotten hooked on SC again and spent too much time on it.

Starcraft II
 

I have seen the demo version and it looks awesome. The graphics is great and the action is fantastically thrilling. Starcraft II is much better than the previous versions.

After everything Blizzard has been through, I'm still not a fan of Starcraft..

I certainly will be getting this game. I loved the first one and the expansion pack and that was out years ago meaning this version will have better graphics, more to do and just something I'll enjoy.

Diablo III, from Blizzard; I'll also be getting that. ;)

I'm on both knees hoping I get into the beta test for this :)
