Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

Blizzard Entertainment
Sci-Fi Real-Time Strategy
Release: Q2 2010

Blizzard has upped the graphics and increased the units but still left the giant all out battles in tact. The original Star Craft is arguably one of the best games of all time, so it is not surprising real time strategy fans flipped shit when Star Craft II was announced.

Starcraft II’s story picks up some years after the events of the Brood War expansion pack for the original Starcraft, after the vicious, three-sided conflict between Starcraft’s three iconic factions: the macho Terran space marines, the noble-yet-inscrutable Protoss aliens, and the swarming, homicidal Zerg aliens. At the end of that story, the rebellious human officer Jim Raynor is set at odds against both his former ally, the treacherous human leader Arcturus Mengsk, and his former ladylove, the stealth-specialist-turned-Zerg-hive-queen Kerrigan.
