StarCraft II


Starcraft 2 is a massively multiplayer real time strategy (MMORTS/ RTS) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The game features 3 playable races. The human race is known as the Terran, the high-tech alien race is called the Protoss, and the biological weapon wielding aliens are called the Zerg. It is possible to play the campaign missions with all of the playable races. The game was released in November 2010 and received 2+ million sales in the first week. Starcraft 2 was nominated as the most anticipated game of 2010. The article was written by Ryan Fleming of Digital Threads.

The article explains everything that a beginner needs to know when first playing Starcraft 2. It describes the movement system, the flavor and the uniqueness of the game. Many people have been patiently waiting for the release of Starcraft 2. The article also explains the background history of the Terran and why they fight the other races of the galaxy. I am happy to see that the mineral system (the way of getting “money” is renewed and used again.) The mineral system used in Starcraft 2 is considered the best way to gain money in any RTS game.

I am eagerly awaiting an expansion pack that is coming to the Starcraft 2 franchise. Starcraft 1 had an expansion, so I am predicting that Starcraft 2 will have an expansion as well.  I am also happy that the game is much more balanced than the original Starcraft. I am also surprised to see Starcraft 2. Starcraft 1 was released in 1996. Starcraft 2 came out 14 years later!

Overall, Starcraft 2 is a superb game, and the article shows it. The article states that a vast amount of new units will be seen on the battlefield. I cannot wait to play Starcraft 2 sometime this weekend!
