Some movement on Starcraft 2? From Ars Technica


At some point, Blizzard will move Starcraft 2 from the Duke Nukem Forever category to the store shelves.

Ben Kuchera of Ars Technica has been following some of the recent buzz, and has filed a nice wrap-up.

"Blizzard is on full publicity mode today, with a number of sites posting preview stories and interviews with the people behind the game. StarCraft 2 is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and with Blizzard promising a new version of Battle.net launching alongside the game and three single-player full-game releases instead of one game with three campaigns, there are many questions gamers have about the product. We've scoured everyone's coverage to try to pick out the surprising, the odd, and the downright cool details from each one, bringing you a gaggle of StarCraft news."

Fascination with Starcraft automatically puts you in the catagory of A) Old gamer, and B) The Republic of South Korea.

Still living in the Pacific during the initial release of Starcraft, I was amazed to see the kids in the Korean owned Lan/Internet shops playing this game on an entirely new level than me and my few friends to struggled to use Battle.net over Dial-up service.

Here's hoping for the best for the 2nd edition, but I go in with cautious skepticism.

Stay tuned.
