Opinion: Why StarCraft is the Best RTS of All Time:

07 Oct 2009 19:59:03 PDT

Written by lipton@starfeeder.com (Lipton)
I really think macro should always play a huge roll in any RTS no matter the style of gameplay. I really do hope that Blizzard has thought long and hard about what makes StarCraft so much better than every other RTS made and takes great strides to capture that again in StarCraft 2.

Opinion: First StarCraft II Single Player Campaign Hands-On (With Spoilers)

17 Aug 2009 00:01:10 PDT

Written by Michael McWhertor
That mechanic gives StarCraft II's single-player campaign a bit of an adventure game feel, even if most of what the game offers during these moments is atmosphere. These moments replace the talking head intermissions from the original StarCraft.

Written by Michael McWhertor
While much of the early StarCraft II game feels familiar, Blizzard has added another layer of strategy to something as simple as resource gathering. Each faction, Terran, Zerg and Protoss, have ways of boosting their resourcing means.

I've always loved StarCraft as a game, but never really knew about the competitive side of it. I can remember various discussion with my friends about how StarCraft could be even better. We talked about what should be added in StarCraft 2 (funnily enough, most of our ideas seem to have been in...

Opinion: Q&A 48: Macro Complicates, No Day/Night in Multiplayer

23 Jan 2009 13:01:54 PST

Written by Anderson Mccutcheon
StarCraft II will support widescreen but not multi-monitor. Widescreen is definitely becoming more of an industry standard, but multi-monitor support for StarCraft II may be too great of a tactical advantage over other players without more than one monitor.

Review for StarCraft

11 Sep 2008 19:39:21 PDT

I have to agree probably one of the best games ever for computer, and definitely one of the best RTS ever. The only thing I ever thought it needed to go with click and drag was hot-keyed army queues.

One of the major issues people have with StarCraft 2, at this stage of development, is the updated control scheme. The new User Interface (UI) constitutes a major overhaul to the now-outdated, almost-10 year old system of the original game. Among the obvious improvements, some changes ar...
