Rosana Olalde
Platforms: PC, Mac
Release Date: July 27
Genre: Real-Time Strategy
Why It's Hot:
More than a decade after its initial release, the original StarCraft is still one of the best real-time strategy games ever made. It’s also from developer Blizzard (World of Warcraft, Diablo II), a software house that seems incapable of turning out a game that’s anything less than superb. Expect it to be addictive, expect it to be polished, expect it to be a huge success.
Why It's Not:
Can real-time strategy games really please crowds like they did in 1998? Blizzard’s got a tough challenge in store: can they capture the hardcore StarCraft old guard, but also produce an experience that’s accessible enough to snare players new to the genre?
Did You Know?
In South Korea, Starcraft is something of a national obsession. Professional Starcraft players are celebrities, and high-stakes games frequently attract TV audiences of millions. But a high-profile rift between Blizzard and KeSPA, the leading Korean “e-sports”organization, has left some wondering whether StarCraft 2 will achieve the same cultural dominance.
