Blizzard Announces New Starcraft Game

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rolling-forth-the-juggernaut-of-hype dept.

About a zillion readers wrote in to tell us about all the commotion over at the Blizzard site. Following a countdown, they've announced the latest Starcraft game, Starcraft: Ghost. Note that this game will be console-only, and the FAQ is very adamant that this is not a Starcraft 2.

    then you should've put a

    [ /sarcasm ] tag

    and I mean, someone else agreed with you, so it wasn't clear.

    You could write it on Win 3.11, debian, X, or bsd, I wouldn't care.

    I got an erection when I first glanced at this post! Then I actually saw what it is and...WTF CowboyNeal?!?!?!? Why'd you do that to me?!?!?!

    Seriously though I've always been amazed Blizzard didnt milk the first Starcraft Game more than they did...I mean at least another expansion or two. I mean damn, that game is like 5 years old and I still know like a dozen people that play it everyday.
