Starcraft Q&A #35 Out!: Posted by Moff Yittreas on April 19th, 2008 @ 5:06 p.m.; It's heeeeeeeeeeere.

Batch 35 is out, and special thanks to Hairy Scary Man for grabbing the link. It's full of new information, and answers a few nagging questions. It turns out we do get to play with those new Tauren Marines after all.

The Story So Far, Part 2: Posted by Crazed Ewok on April 19th, 2008 @ 12:52 a.m.; Blizzard has released the second summary of what's happened in the StarCraft universe so far. The article is the second in a series of articles that seeks to retell the stories told in StarCraft 1 and Brood War, leaving no detail by the wayside.

Here's a snippet of one of the most interesting parts of this story:
Sorrowfully the dark templar led their visitors to meet Raszagal, the ancient matriarch who ruled Shakuras. The protoss' first priority was to battle the spreading zerg infestation of Shakuras. Raszagal declared that a xel'naga temple on Shakuras could cleanse the planet, but its activation required two crystals--the Khalis and the Uraj--that had been lost long ago.
I'm always a sucker for cool Protoss stuff!

You too? Maybe you prefer to debate the fundamental evolutionary basis of the Zerg, or ponder the potential power of the population of a party of painfully poor... Terrans! Regardless, you can come talk about these issues and more in our StarCraft Universe forum!; Permalink | Comments [1]

StarCraft II Q&A - Batch 29: Posted by Paperfriend on February 10th, 2008 @ 07:05 a.m.; Batch 29 is out, with some interesting new info: The Nomad's second ability:
The Mine Drone is a stationary defense structure, which places four mines around it, and then immediately cloaks both the mines and the structure.
The mines act like the ones from the Terran Vulture from StarCraft I, and are very hard to defend against without having any defenses against cloaked units. This might cause some problems for the Protoss and other Terrans, who only get cloak-detection late in the game: How are they supposed to counter? Read the whole batch here and post your opinions here.

Thank you Alex, for posting this news!; Permalink | Comments [2]

StarCraft: Ghost still alive?: Posted by Paperfriend on February 09th, 2008 @ 07:25 a.m.; StarCraft: Ghost was a game originally produced for Gamecube, Xbox and PlayStation 2, but was indefinitely postponed in 2006. There is some light on the horizon however, as StarCraft: Ghost managed to escape the canceled games list released by Blizzard last Thursday.

Read an article by Gameinformer of the event here. Maybe there is some hope for a game such as StarCraft: Ghost? Possibly for another console? Discuss it here.; Permalink | Comments [4]
