StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty Beta impressions at Joystiq
I've been playing the stuff out of the StarCraft 2 beta and managed to plug some of my thoughts on it into that Joystiq.com webspace site. Here's an excerpt:
Here's the thing about the StarCraft II beta: you've played this game before. In the time I've spent with the beta over the past 24-plus hours, I've been Zerg rushed, I've had my buildings annihilated by a group of Reapers that snuck through the back of my fortified area, and I've had Protoss ships lay waste to countless heavy Thor units -- which looked like they could have taken on anything and survived. And here's the other thing: I absolutely loved every minute of it, as familiar as it was.
Head on over and give it a read! That's not, like, an order or anything -- unless you want it to be or whatever.
Finally, some beautiful Kingdom Under Fire II eye candy
One of the lesser known things about me is that the first two Kingdom Under Fire games are among my most favorite titles ever. Don't believe me? Peep my reviews of each of the first two games right here.
So, that image above? That's totally in-game. I just hope that Kingdom Under Fire II toes the line between RTS and hack-and-slash like the first two games in the series did so well. Want to see some video and more screens? Check out this post over at Joystiq.
