Published by Blizzard, Starcraft was first released in 1998 after a major overhauling due to a poor showing at E3 in 1996. Blizzard made the right move, as Starcraft has sold over 11 million copies from 1998 till 2009. Now enter Startcraft II, the long awaited sequel. It again will follow the story of Terran (outcast human) Jim Raynor on his quest to survive Zergs, Protoss, and well, other Terran. If you don’t want to go the storyline route you can play any of the three races to try and dominate the galaxy. And now, for your viewing pleasure, Starcraft II: Wings of LIberty.

I can’t help but notice how many elements of this game closely resemble a certain game we all know and love.  The thing is… Warhammer was first.  The question is, can they make the material engaging enough and make the gameplay fun enough to give folks something new?

I hope Vigil does a better job than EA/Mythic did…
