Starcraft 2

[Sarawr!?]

Actually Tenacity, you are sorta wrong... I believe the game that popularised the very RTS genre and created an undeniable format for it was in fact Dune 2, created by Westwood.

It depends on how you look at it. Dennis is right in this respect, Blizzard never did shine in the way of originality. The reason why Blizzard became one of the major game developing companies in our time is because their games are incredibly polished, playable and filled with eye candy, while their developers seem to have no specific deadlines set by the publishers, unlike other companies. But originality and story? Mostly taken off other great works of sci-fi/fantasy it seems.

This is part of what made the original Starcraft great though...it was like a giant parody of the sci-fi genre, but it still managed to turn into a serious game in it's own right, and it was great, Example: All the dropship quotes and quotes from various other Terran units, could be heard at different points throughout the movie "Aliens" and even in Starship Troopers.

Anyway, I have little faith in SC2, but I'll probably buy it for my brother, since his birthday is soon, and that means I'll probably end up playing it anyway..
