Starcraft II
 

I haven't personally played it but I've seen that it looks really pretty. The single player campaign also looks great (I know this from watching others play on Youtube). It does seem to be practically identical to the original Starcraft though. What do you guys think?

The story arguably isn't quite the strong point it was in the original Starcraft, and the Custom Game system is a disaster, especially for single-player maps (it appears to assume that they don't exist, to begin with - no game should force you to start a map through the map editor! to be able to play singleplayer-according-to-the-game).
Oh, and Kerrigan is just jarring.

I liked it, way too similar to its predecessor and the plot wasn't so deep, but the campaign was interesting and funny to play, very challenging at higher levels, can't wait for Heart of the Swarm :)

I thought about getting it, then found out it was split into three games.....and hated Blizzard for that. Maybe I will get it later, I am sure there will be a Battlechest for it one day. Online RTS games don't get me all excited like they did back in the day, so the lack of a good story is a killer for me.
