Now I don’t usually like to report news, because let’s face it, you can get that from just about anywhere. However, when it comes down to StarCraft 2? I’m down. The first StarCraft was amazing, I mean the game was an instant classic, and sure times have passed and there have been better RTS’s released, but I still find myself going back to StarCraft because of the level of depth it through the story, and how well it plays. If StarCraft 2 (now SC2 because typing it out is a bitch), is anything similar to the original SC, then we could see another instant classic.

I know that open betas doesn’t signify the game will be released any time soon, but what it does signify is that people like myself are going to be able to get into it and start playing the project that many people have dreamed about for years. You can still find maps on the original SC that are named StarCraft 2, because at that time it seemed Blizzard had given up to pursue other interests in the Warcraft Universe. Earlier this week, there was news that Blizzard had an all-star title coming up sometime this year. With the open betas in the months range, I think SC2 is a good guess as to Blizzard’s 2009 title. Man I hope Battle.net is still free, spliting the game up into three parts was bad enough.
