Guest Entry: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
Aug 30, 2010 PC Games
It is difficult to compete with a legend. When StarCraft first came out in 1998, it was well received, and sold around 1.5 million in its first year. Now, starCraft II: Wings of Liberty offers one of the best games in the real-time strategy genre ever made and is one of the most anticipated game releases of 2010 which is the first episode of Starcraft 2 Universe Saga and continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft.
Starcraft 2 is really a mixture between the first Starcraft and Warcraft 3, this hybrid is the best thing Blizzard could have come up with. A lot of units have special abilities now, making them a unique tool on the battlefield, nearly all the units have a distinctive characteristic that can change your battle outcome. The Interface or the graphics of the game is very user-friendly and beautifully done.

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.
