Editor's note: Geek Out! posts feature the latest and most interesting nerd culture news. From scifi and fantasy to gadgets and science, if you can geek out over it you can find it on Geek Out! Look for Geek Out! posts on CNN's SciTech blog. [Correction: I mistakenly say in the video that Sarcraft 2 is published by I got a chance to check out “Starcraft II,” along with colleague Larry Frum. Subtitled “Wings of Liberty,” the sequel – currently in closed beta - is a long-awaited follow-up to Blizzard’s much-loved real-time strategy game. The attached video is our full review. But here are a few high points: Pros: We both like what we’ve played so far, and patch updates from Blizzard have done a lot to help with the unbalanced game play. The game will have three releases. We’re expecting the first will allow single-player play as a Terran [i.e. human] and the future ones will expand to the other two - Zerg, Protoss. And with just the first full release, players will be able to go online, at battle.net, and play the other two races in multi-player mode. What was our final verdict? Watch the video to find out. Are you in the closed beta? Have you had a chance to play? Let us know what you thought in the comments below. Posted by: Topher Kohan |
