It’s an event that was literally years in the making.  For 12 years, fans have been waiting breathlessly for Blizzard to unleash the next expansion in the StarCraft universe.  In the meantime, the game has become something of an international sensation.  It sold somewhere between 9 and 11 million copies and has become South Korea’s top spectator sport.  Now, with the release of StarCraft II:  Wings of Liberty, old pros and new fans alike have been given a modernized StarCraft with stellar graphics, movie-quality cut scenes that still retains all the quality of the original StarCraft’s game play.

Or at least, that’s what it’s supposed to do.

Truth be told, nobody but beta testers knows just how good StarCraft II might be, because the video game press wasn’t given prerelease copies to test.  Apparently, Blizzard and new headmaster Activision know what they’ve got on their hands and just how long people have been waiting for it, so they realize that they don’t need any extra buzz on top of the massive buzz StarCraft II has been generating on its own.  Looks like we’ll all be finding out together if the game is any good!
