Starcraft II this year!
Apr 18, 2009 PC Games
StarCraft II is a trilogy of military science fiction real-time strategy video games currently under development by Blizzard Entertainment as a sequel to the award-winning 1998 video game StarCraft. StarCraft II, originally envisioned as a single game, was announced to be a trilogy at BlizzCon 2008, consisting of one game followed up later by two expansion packs, provisionally entitled Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void respectively.
Unlike the original series, where each game had three 8-10 mission campaigns, one for each race, each game in the StarCraft II trilogy will have only one, 26-30 mission campaign centered around a single race. The Terrans will be the focus of the first campaign, followed up by Zerg and Protoss races in the expansions. Every game in the trilogy will have all races available to play during the skirmish or multiplayer and online modes. Blizzard claims that each part will have enough content to feel like a full game in its own right. No release dates have been announced for the trilogy.
StarCraft II is being developed for concurrent release on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X. Activision Blizzard, Blizzard’s parent company, believes that the game should be released in 2009.

This game is the reason why my husband keeps telling me that we buy a new PC for games with a strong video card on his birthday. My plan is, we buy the computer parts piece by piece and assemble it by ourselves so we can save extra bucks and have the best gaming parts. Hope we can have extra money before his birthday.
