After weeks of speculation with friends, family, and anyone who knows anything about gaming, the dream finally came true for thousands of fans. For me, it's not just another installment in the StarCraft universe, or either another game in the Blizzard franchise - it's far more important. This is Blizzard's chance to hit back. As we all know, World of Warcraft has sold millions, and it appears Blizzard have found the way to earn a lot of money, without doing much at all. However, many believe, as I did, that Blizzard has sold out. They weren't looking to make the best game they could make anymore. They were simply looking at the profit.

And that brings us to around two weeks ago, when Blizzard told the world that there would be an announcement concerning a new game on May 19th. Frantic guesses. Was it StarCraft II? Was it a StarCraft MMO? A Diablo sequel, or just a new game all together? And suddenly, with Saturday just over the hills, the sequel to the near 10 year old, million dollar selling game, was announced. StarCraft II.

And with another of Blizzard's highly praised cinematics, we see a man walk into a huge mechanical room, suddenly being dressed with large chunks of metal armour, and cloth padding. His gun is fitted in place, gloves slid on, and we suddenly see a body shot, but not yet have we seen his face. Flashes of mutilisks flying, marines firing, and possibly a quick shot of Kerrigan tease us with more great action, and suddenly it flies up to the marine's face. And with the uttered line "Hell,it's about time," his helmet suddenly shuts tight, and the logo "StarCraft II" is revealed. It's about time indeed.

As blood rushed to my head, I could only hope this would be the standard for the rest of the game, and with the release of new screenshots, a gameplay trailer, and the Flash Website, one can only imagine how great this game could end up being. It shares a likeness to both the Warcraft games and the first StarCraft game, and although it doesn't break the mold in terms of technical graphics, it still looks great.

Although the release date is still fairly far away, with a 2008 speculation, we can still sleep tight at night knowing StarCraft II is in the works and in safe developer's hands. It currently looks just as high quality as any other Blizzard release, and if all goes to plan, we could be looking at another award winning title. And so as this post comes to a close, I've simply got three words for you. World of What?
