Games Cheats and Reviews

The beta keys for long-awaited PC game, StarCraft II, are currently fetching a high price tag on eBay.

StarcraftWire.net has a review of the latest TOKYOPOP manga based on the award-winning RTS Game Starcraft. The first story in this manga, titled Homecoming, serves as a backstory on the main character marshal-turned-rebel Jim Raynor.

The story ties-in straight into the first mission in Mar Sara at the beginning of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty’s single player. The story written by no other than Blizzard Entertainment’s Senior VP of Creative Design Chris Metzen left a cliffhanger that might be exploited and come back to bite fans in the game. Mystery ensues. Did Jim Raynor’s son truly die?

StarCraft II is a trilogy of military science fiction real-time strategy video games currently under development by Blizzard Entertainment as a sequel to the award-winning 1998 video game StarCraft. StarCraft II, originally envisioned as a single game, was announced to be a trilogy at BlizzCon 2008, consisting of the base game and two subsequent expansion sets, entitled Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void respectively.

After Blizzard did not celebrate the 11th anniversary of its classic RTS game StarCraft, fans have been in uproar. IncGamers is trying to lighten up the mood with news of a beta key giveaway.

Enthusiastic StarCraft players harangued Community Manager Kevin Yu in the official forums after the Beta’s rumoured start date of April 1 came and went without incident.

In an attempt to dowse the fires of disappointment, IncGamers’ StarCraft network site is inviting fans to take part in a wordplay competition where they can also get their hands on a StarCraft II Beta Key while waiting for the test to start.
