Who will survive the Tomb of Immortal Darkness? It’s a new five-man dungeon coming to World of Warcraft that’s “deep beneath the crumbling tombstones of Duskwood’s Raven Hill Cemetery.” (Incidentally, Duskwood is my favorite old world area. Oh, the memories.) The dungeon uses Deep Dark technology to give players the ultimate challenge: navigating an instance in total darkness. Is your toon… → Read More
Starcraft II has already set the record as the fastest-selling real-time strategy game of all time, at least that’s what Blizzard claims. Analysts expect 7 million copies sold this year. Considering that this is just the first part of the game that’s quite a win and Blizzard is of course happy about it. Why sell something only once when you can split it up to parts and sell it three times? This… → Read More
It’s 60€ in Europe. Costs as much as a console title only this is the digital version. I guess I’ll just wait until the price drops to a reasonable amount of money. → Read More
7/27 is coming soon friends. I’ll see you online. → Read More
This is for true StarCraft nerds only. No one else needs to waste their time on this silly unboxing. It’s a freaking game, people. But whatever. Everyone is a freak somehow. So with that said, here’s what might be the first unboxing of the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Collector’s Edition. → Read More
The latest issue of Edge magazine has a fun little article abbot South Korea’s obsession with StarCraft. One of the issues the article brings up is: what happens to the game when Blizzard releases StarCraft II next month? Nobody knows! (My guess is that StarCraft will be around forever, no matter how many sequels Blizzard develops.) Along the same lines, kinda, Blizzard plans to give free copies… → Read More
Yup, this TV spot did its job. I want StarCraft II even more now. [via evilavatar] → Read More
This prototype for Starcraft was found by the son of an old-school Blizzard programmer — it dates from the early ’80s. Really quite shocking how advanced it is for the time! Check out this footage of a PvT game! → Read More
First Steam and now StarCraft II. What more can Mac gamers want? Battlefield: Bad Company 2? Eh, it’s overrated. → Read More
Even though Starcraft II was playable more than a year ago, Blizzard has still been extremely selective about the assets that they release. This latest video shows off the “Story Mode,” also known as the game, in which you can see a few characters driving the story, directing the flow of the game, and so on. The graphics, as we know, are very reminiscent of the original, yet polished and in high… → Read More
This video brings back terrible memories of me getting massacred. I used to play quick Starcraft pickup games during boring MCSE lectures back in school. There was this guy in my class that happened to be a bigger nerd than I and the only way he knew how to win was with massive Dragooon armies. I hated him. Anyway, click through for a surprisingly exciting Starcraft II battle in the classic Lost… → Read More
I never thought I’d see anything at all labeled “Zerg Edition,” but nerdy times call for nerdy measures. In this case, Blizzard and Razer are joining forces to put out some sweet StarCraft II gear. Right now the only thing available is this Zerg messenger bag, but I’m sure they’ll be coming out with much more soon (probably with individual announcements for each, if I know these guys). I’m not… → Read More
Bad news, guys: Blizzard just “delayed” StarCraft II. (Did it ever have an official release date to begin with?) I just received the devastating electronic mail. → Read More
Can’t wait for StarCraft II? Who can? SteelSeries is ready to cash in on the anticipation with $14.99 gaming mousepads sometime this month. Two different themes will be available: the Terran Marine pad or the Kerrigan vs. Zeratul pad. Both of course are optimized for gaming with a special surface that improves mouse tracking. Want one? They will be sold at GameStop and Amazon sometime soon. → Read More
By now I’m sure you know that Blizzard doesn’t plan to support LAN in StarCraft II. There’s a petition going around that politely asks Blizzard to reconsider. Said petition has some 65,000 signatures on it. You should sign it, too. → Read More
This totally slipped my mind at the weekend, but Blizzard is already laying the groundwork for a Starcraft II beta, if the e-mail it sent me (and thousands of other writers, I’m sure) is any indication. Get excited, people! → Read More
Normally we don’t get excited over LEGO like some other site, but we do like us some Starcraft II. Apparently at least one chap enjoys both and has spent a good amount of time constructing killer LEGO units based on the upcoming game’s units. They are impressive to say the least. → Read More
I think it’s actually more accurate to say that I failed to Zerg my opponent correctly. The game looks great, it controls just like the original to be honest, and the graphics are smooth and very detailed. I have this feeling that my old Protoss tactics are going to be of little use in this updated game. Although you’ll be happy to learn that many of your favorite units and buildings… → Read More
Some exciting news came out of yesterday’s Blizzard Wordwide Invitational in Seoul, South Korea. Wait for it…Starcraft 2 was finally announced. Sure, we dropped a hint that it could be coming out soon and now it’s finally here. The official Starcraft 2 site was officially launched as well with tons of video’s and screenshots. There is no official launch date nor are there… → Read More
Are there any Starcraft fans in the house? Don’t be shy; it’s OK to answer yes because no one will know. Now, it’s all speculation at this point that Starcraft 2 will be coming out, but the fact that the URL has been bought and redirected to the main Blizzard site makes me wonder. What do you guys think? Is Starcraft 2 coming soon or did Blizzard just swoop up the URL for the hell of it? → Read More
