The first StarCraft was released by Blizzard in 1998. More than 12 years later, “StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty” is here, selling over 1.5 million copies and making it one of the most popular online games in the world.
So I grabbed a copy last week and scheduled a game night. I’ve been trying to stay away from addicting games like WarCraft or StarCraft for years but this one I really had to try SC2 is like one of those games that “once you pop, you can’t stop”.
Unlike the previous game, you will need a Battle.net account to play over the network (LAN) — otherwise, you can only play in single mode (although I hear cracks are already spreading in the intarwebs to bypass this restriction).
Anybody out there who are playing SC2 or just finished the entire campaign?

the battle.net thing must be a sort of DRM thing
You’re right about the cracks. Got a hold of one several days ago from a friend — the game seems to work perfectly after so it’s good.

I don’t understand why my post keeps getting flagged as spam.

@Andre,
yep. Bnet-only is Blizz’s version of DRM.

so cool… but i’m still waiting for Diablo 3..
Local distributors are still overpricing the game so I did not buy one yet. Maybe after a month or two.
I agree with Fleeb!! You local distributors suck!
Its a great game and have been playing the single player campaign I downloaded from megaupload (Razor1911 proper). It should be entertaining enough for a while as I get my skills up till I can buy serial that isn’t overpriced.
You lean towards salesman in your articles, but there is controversy with the game. Actavision’s forcing of 25mb max mods and forcing no “sideloadling” of user generated content pretty much sucks.
When is this going to be in Internet cafes?
How’s it play on an under-powered laptop?

12 years in the making… now that’s quality game… the life cycle of a console/software/games is usually 3 to 5 years, then updating/patching up any holes in between. But the original Starcraft lasted for more than a decade.. they really have a lot of time to think about the sequel… yeah!!
show me the money
buhay nanaman ang mga pirata ng cd hehehe…
nice…. starcraft!!!!!
I’m in the Get the Artifact Chapter.

You have to be careful of rush assaults:
1.) Zerglings
2.) Terran Reapers
3.) Protoss Towers building near your base

Hours just after getting my pre-ordered copy at Datablitz on July 27, I just pop in the disc. Enjoyed the installation screen all thanks to Cyber Lola Basyang’s back story telling and just burned through the campaign on hard mode all throughout the week. Although I have never been quite active on the battle.net community lately, the single player and skirmishes just sucks me into addiction once again. *ahem* But of course, I finished my work first before diving into the world of Blizzard’s dangerously addictive game XD
@kyle : mahal kasi you are comparing it against the price of your local pirata. but the price is dirt cheap considering the engineering blizzard has done for the game.
Everybody else got it for $60. We are getting it for almost $80.

The developer demo was release sometime around 2006 to or 2007. Finally, it’s here… My laptop specs could probably go for the minimum requirements but I haven’r really tried playing this game yet, only watched the videos.
You can complain about the price with the game’s SEA distributor, IAH games. They’re charging $109 SGD for a $60 game.
Here’s some comparisons.

Quit the whining on the price. Kung namamahalan kayo wag kayoing bumili at maglaway na Lang kayo. Napopolute nag thread. Imbes na relevant and interesting comments puro Mga pirata. Mag chess na Lang kayo o clued0.
@Ulv
haha. But where would they brag loudly about being able to pirate a $60 gam…

I’m a fan of Starcraft. And I can’t wait to try this one. I have been waiting for this for a while now. Hopefully, will be able to play this soon.
