Starcraft II

It's coming It's coming!! Brings back memories, I remember during my Uni days in the States when Blizzard first announced the release of Starcraft 1 and I queued up for the pre-released of 500 copies of the game at BestBuy right before New Year of 97/98. If I missed it I would have to wait until Spring 1998. It was freezing at 8:30am and people are already queuing up. For USD 48.00 it's worth it as I've played the game on Battle.net right up till 2003.

StarCraft was the best-selling computer game in 1998 and won the Origins Award for Best Strategy Computer Game of that year. Nine million copies of StarCraft and its expansion pack, StarCraft: Brood War have been sold since its release. It is especially popular in South Korea, where professional players and teams participate in matches, earn sponsorships, and compete in televised matches. That was why Blizzard officially annnounced it's appearance of Starcraft 2 in South Korea on May 19, 2007.

As you may not know Blizzard Entertainment have won countless Awards for Best Game of The Year: World of Warcraft, Warcraft 1/2/3 Series, Diablo 1&2 and finally Starcraft 1. It's definitely worth buying Ori for this game.
