starcraft 2

The long-awaited and much anticipated Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty game seems to be living up to all the hype, and then some.

This new game by Blizzard Entertainment is consistently ranked as one of the most popular online games. In fact, the game — a sequel to Blizzard's groundbreaking Starcraft game — achieved a 94% approval rating from Metacritic, the online movie, television, and gaming review website. And like any other online game, people are falling all over themselves to get a hold of some Starcraft 2 secrets to use for getting their "game on."

With Starcraft 2, the epic battle of Protoss, Terran, and Zerg continues unabated. And much like the first Starcraft game, Starcraft 2 will have expansion packs that are due out within the year. "Heart of the Swarm" and "Legacy of the Void" are both expected to be released in the near future.

Starcraft and Starcraft 2 were the catalysts for the online gaming explosion that has occurred over the last decade or so. Many purists argue that the immensely popular Facebook games like Farmville and Frontierville can trace their interactive play and social gaming roots back to the original Starcraft game released back in March of 1998.
