Those are good points, Triumvirate. Starcraft certainly will be a tough act to follow. I've read that some of the original team has returned for the new game to help keep it balanced, so hopefully they will be able to do a good job and keep the game innovative at the same time.
Jep, in fact I'm a fan of Blizzard games in general. Warcraft II, Diablo and Starcraft were the best IMO. I've played Warcraft up to Warcraft III (lacking a proper computer and not in the mood to pay monthly to play WoW), all Diablo games and StarCraft with expansion.
I never really enjoyed Warcraft that much. They're okay (I played II, then I, but finished neither), but I just didn't have that much fun with them. Diablo is good, though. Speaking of which, I wonder how long it will be until they announce Diablo III? They haven't continued that series in quite a while, either.
