Blizzard has announced that they are working on Starcraft II!

Despite how much I suck at RTS, I was still a big fan of Starcraft. Now I have to look at getting a better computer.

Also, we will see that right around the time of the release of SCII, South Korea's economy will collapse. Most of Korea's workforce will drop out to play Starcraft.

    I wonder if it'll be crap compared to Total Annihilation, like the first one was, or just crap compared to Supreme Commander.

    Don't worry, DI. Just like the first one, it won't matter, because strategy games are still boring.

    RTS games tend to suck, but Total Annihilation was 100% pure awesome.

    Haven't actually played much of Supreme Commander yet, though. I don't have too much time for video games these days, and I'm still trying to polish off Dragon Quest 8 before I move on to the next game in my backlog.

    As much as I love Supreme Commander, Blizzard RTS's have a special place in my heart. And after watching the gameplay videos, I'm very psyched for this one.

    Its funny, everytime I buy a new RTS, I say "Thats it! This is the LAST RTS I'm gonna buy. I have like 15 of them already." But then something like this comes along.

    Spawn more overlords!

    EDIT: I totally suck at starcraft but I still have a lot of fun even if I constantly get pwned. I had to play some starcraft recently to verify that it was still true.

    I've played Starcraft all of one time. I've never really gotten into the RTS genre.

    My strategy in most of these games is as follows:

    1. Play against computer.
    2. Over-harvest resources.
    C. Build an absurd amount of units.
    3. Take way too long to beat the level.

    This is my problem with Advance Wars. Usually I just build Tanks/Mid Tanks until I win though sheer numbers.

    I tended to use Max a lot.
