Twelve years of waiting is over!

Twelve years...
Twelve years of agonizing limbo, but today is the day!
It's the day that StarCraft 2 finally is released here in Europe!

I was just short of my sixteenth birthday when I first came into contact with Blizzards modern day Classic. It was a time when the PC was at its highest, when practically every game was made to the PC and ported to the consoles and not the other way around. StarCraft blew my mind. It was simply the best RTS-game that had ever been created (with Dune II at a distant second place and Red Alert at third) and over 12 years later, it still stands as the best RTS of all time. Other games in the RTS genre have made noble attempts at trying to overturn this hulking mountain of a amazing game, but no one has really gotten up to the level of StarCraft. Blizzard practically killed the RTS genre by releasing an almost flawless game and now finally after all these years, we get the sequel.

Finally I will be able to unravel all the questions of the past. Finally I will be able to see what became of the noble Jim Raynor, finally I will be able to experience the destiny of the Protoss race and finally I will see the evolution of the Sarah Kerrigan, the queen of blades and empress of the Zergs. All these thoughts and questions have been left unanswered for too long. But today is the day when the journey begins anew and some questions will be answered, while new ones will undoubtedly arise. There is no doubt in my mind that this game will sell in the millions and probably take a place in the top five most sold games ever. In fact, I will go on record to say that this game will sell over ten million copies before the end of the year.

Especially if the price for a copy is this good! :) 249kr = US 34$

Twelve years of waiting is over!

Lock n load!
