This new trailer sets up the epic story line for the upcoming StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty set to launch next week. This is probably the most video and story elements we’ve seen from Blizzard so far. It really makes me wonder how much money they could make by just making a full blown movie.

*UPDATE* – Actually, someone pointed out that Nova is actually blonde. This is most likely pre-infested Kerrigan since she was a red head. From looks of it this is probably a flash back of when Mengsk abandons her and she gets taken by the Zerg.
Yea that’s right, this looks a lot like Nova from the [...]

“Hell, it’s about time.”

Blizzard released the StarCraft 2 Beta for Mac yesterday however they probably should have taken their time with this release because the game runs really inefficiently. From personal experience I was able to run low to medium settings on my 2009 MacBook Pro 13″. Playing online versus human opponents you could really notice the slow [...]

I got through the third week of lent, but it wasn’t easy. Temptations were thrown in my direction in the form of roommates playing the Starcraft 2 Beta and my pre-ordered copy of Final Fantasy XIII landing on my doorstep.

I’ve always been a terran user and now for the first time we get to see in depth descriptions of their new units. I love how the new Reaper Unit plays on the Transformers hype and the fact that the ghost can actually make kills with their sniper rifle. I can’t wait to see more [...]

So by now all you die hard World of Warcraft addicts probably already know that you’re getting another expansion pack. Right when you thought there was nothing left to do after you hit level 70 Blizzard bumps the cap to level 80. All of a sudden you’re not as 1337 as you thought you were [...]

Blizzard just can’t help but to make us wonder what their newest project will be. So supposedly they have a team for WOW, a team for SCII and now a 3rd team for some mystery project. It has already been confirmed this 3rd team is NOT working on Starcraft Ghost. But perhaps they are working [...]
