first off i think i’m changing my “time waster of the moment” to “nimil plays” just cause it shrinks the title down a bit. as always, these are not paid reviews, i do these cause i love games!

so i mentioned a while back that i got a beta key for starcraft II, however i didn’t get to play it much because i got busy with some other things that unfortunately ate up my starcraft time. the small amount of time that i did get to play was pretty awesome and i came to the realization that i now suck at rts games. i used to kick ass at them but i guess i am out of practice. i lost every match except for the one where the other side pulled out as soon as we entered the match! now this does not mean that i hated the game, but it was just more challenging than i originally remember the first starcraft. of course i didn’t play much against other people on the original so i guess i was just being pitted against more skilled players.

the game its self is really great looking, the graphics are still top down, and a bit small but beautiful all the same. the sound effects were great and as a fan of the protoss i started hearing “we require more minerals” in my sleep.. its kinda like the new “construct additional pylons”

so i can’t really properly review this game because first of all it was a beta, so all i got to play with the multi-player function, and secondly because i suck and didn’t spend enough time playing it. however i did enjoy what i got to play and i think if you were a fan of the original starcraft you will enjoy this new one.
