This is going to be EPIC. I have been watching the development of this game closely, cos I still play the originals online from time to time.

Pitty they are releasing them in chapters, instead of all three together as one game though...This will be the Terran one, then there is the Zerg and Protos one!!!

It's hard to say hey. Depends a lot on the style of play that you adopt.

Protos is by far the strongest, but their unit cost a lot, and they are generally slow to build, because they have a large tech tree to work through.

Terran are your middle of the road race. Their units are weaker than the Protos in one on one fighting, but they are stronger than the Zerg units. They have a very simple tech tree, and their units are fairly cheap, although still more expensive than Zerg units. Their buildings do not need to be placed on or around anything, so you can build them anywhere you like.

Zerg are the weakest race "on paper", and their units are also not able to compete with either of the other two races one on one, if you compare them directly. They have some big advantages though. Their units are very very cheap compared to Protos, and their tech tree is also flexible, so you have a lot of options.

I personally like to play with Zerg, but they are a hard race to master because of the weakness in certain combat situations.

Lol Dorado, I love both of them. Video games are total different type of relaxation.

@sharkbyte - You lucky bud, my computer needs a graphics upgrade before I even try buying, lol..

@fluffy - The skirmishes will be awesome, have a look at some of the pics from the blizzard site. But don't write off Blizzards story lines, they are always top class...I finished warcraft 3 and frozen throne in like, a week, just cos the story was so good. Same goes for startcraft 1 and Broodwars!

It rocks!!!! the graphics is amazing, even on my Quadro FX580 (and I am going to upgrade this very soon too) , It even works on my laptop, which has onboard Intel HD 4500 but at the lowest graphics setting which i must admit is not that great, but the game runs.

Dorado... its not Video Games lol Video games is those machines we used to throw 2bob in:hyst:

reminds me of a sarcastic chirp i used to tell my bro's... "gee a 2bob dan speel ons dubbels"


I would much rather be fishing, but for those nights or days when i want to pi$$ the wife even more then there's PC Games.. or the Wii. ::rofl:

Blizzard is very good at getting people addicted to gaming.I played Warcraft 3 for 2 years and almost ended up getting divorced.I now do not play ANY computer games - far to easy to get addicted!

I am sure Starcraft will be a winner.

Yo Rory, that's hectic. And Warcraft 3 isn't their worst one either, in fact I've never heard of anyone getting addicted to that one.

I do know lots of people have gotten divorced and such because of World Of Warcraft, but that's and MMORPG(Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game for all the newbs, lol).

Also, a Korean dude died in an internet cafe after playing Starcraft 1 for 56 Hours straight...that's some dedication!
