Yes, Starcraft is one of my favorite games. Its amazing how old the game is and how many people still play it.

yeah, although I didn't want to see it go 'cartoony', I have to admit, it looks really good. they have kept it hidden in development this long, they only just came out about it. Turns out they started it right after Warcraft 3.

They kept it under tight lock. They started leaking little hints about 8 months ago. I was sold before then when they were advertising that they were hiring "Game developers experienced with Balancing (something Starcraft is famous for) and Map editing."

My guess is that they have been spending a lot of that time building the engin but only started the campaigns and maps earlier this year.

I don't like how Blizzard announces their games. Most, if not all, of their games were great. Why are they so secretive? It always annoys me!
