Will Starcraft 2 really bring back PC gaming?

2009/07/16

Protoss, known for there killer instinct and their cruel amusement of killing for fun… Protoss are back along with their mothership and are ready to fight for survival against Zerg and Terran once again. One of my friends has been addicted to Starcraft for years and could probably beat Koreans at their own game.

But now, Blizzard are coming out with all guns blazing with a new 3D graphics engine that will support bigger, better battles and help gamers fight one each other for ultimate bragging rights, but will this long awaited game bring back PC gaming?

Zerg Cinematic after watching this I preordered the game…

It is hard to say, there sure is a lot of debates about this, in my opinion Starcraft 2 is breath of fresh air for PC gamers. But one can’t give a title to a game that hasn’t been released, so time will tell… As always. But there is one doubt on my mind. The fact there is NO LAN support just Battle.net. But I think this is just Blizzard way of stopping piracy, which I am a strong supporter of.

I have to say Blizzard have really out done themselves in both Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 with adding new features left, right and centre. The list is actually quite impressive. If you have any idea what the original games were like.

“Heaps of new units” I haven’t went over the newly foundered units list just yet but I have had a quick squizz. I love the names, very creative.

All in all this breath of fresh air in my opinion will sell heaps and please many. But who will win in the number of sold copies between Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2?
