PC - StarCraft II - Starcraft: Frontline Vol. 4 Review StarcraftWire.net has a review of the latest TOKYOPOP manga based on the award-winning RTS Game Starcraft. The first story in this manga, titled Homecoming, serves as a backstory on the main character marshal-turned-rebel Jim Raynor.

The story ties-in straight into the first mission in Mar Sara at the beginning of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty's single player. The story written by no other than Blizzard Entertainment's Senior VP of Creative Design Chris Metzen left a cliffhanger that might be exploited and come back to bite fans in the game. Mystery ensues. Did Jim Raynor's son truly die?

PC - StarCraft II - Heroes can hold more items than in World of Warcraft With Blizzard having pushed back beta the fans are itching for a bone. Blizzard has updated us through the new Starcraft Twitter that they are working on some web site updates to hold us over that are almost complete. Hopefully we'll see those before long.

What has Blizzard been working on all this time? The fans are ready for beta, why don't we have it? With Blizzard's focus on quality one can only assume that they've come up with a list of "must haves" for Starcraft 2 or Battle.net that they just simply don't want to ship without it...

PC - StarCraft II - Wings of Liberty Zerg Unit: Brutalisk Blizzard has updated the Starcraft Twitter account with a link to an excellent screenshot of the single player featuring a previously unknown unit called the Brutalisk.

PC - StarCraft II - Could the SCII beta be behind a delayed MW2 on PC? Speculation of a StarCraft II beta in November suddenly makes sense of rumours of a delay to the launch of Modern Warfare 2 on PC.

With Activision remaining silent on whether the delay will occur, GameArena explores the argument for giving the StarCraft II beta a one-to-two week headstart on Modern Warfare 2's PC release.

PC - StarCraft II - Starcraft II Beta Imminent? Blizzard Entertainment has set a deadline to convert World of Warcraft accounts to a Battle.net account on or before November 11th. StarCraftWire.net speculates Starcraft II beta is getting closer to be announced.

At BlizzCon 2009, the press kit CD contained images of Battle.net 2.0 interface which showed the Starcraft II friend list and World of Warcraft friend list sharing players among each game via Battle.net.

The reason Starcraft II beta did not start in the summer according to Bob Kotick was that Battle.net 2.0 was not ready.

PC - StarCraft II - Razer shows off StarCraft 2 with exclusive messenger bag Razer has acquired the license to create StarCraft 2 branded PC accessories, although what exactly we can expect from that partnership is up in the air. Mice, headsets, and keyboards will be the expected loot, but Razer sent us a preview of the product line with the StarCraft 2 messenger bag.

The image on the front flap is nice, with the embroidered Terran logo, but the real treat is when you open the flap and see a large graphic of a battlefield on the inside of the bag. The product is solidly made, with plenty of padding and pockets for all your mice, keyboards, and even a laptop.

PC - StarCraft II - Starcraft II to have "pseudo-LAN" Robert Pardo vice President of game design at Blizzard, responded with amusement that people think this will still be an issue when the game is released. "There are a few legitimate cases that we're going to try and address over time. Location-based tournaments, or let's say I'm in a dorm with a firewall or something like that, hopefully there's a way to determine that and maybe start a peer-to-peer game."

PC - StarCraft II - Blizzard: Lack Of StarCraft Lan Is "No Big Deal" Kotaku sat down with Blizzard's executive vice president of game design Rob Pardo this weekend to talk Battle.net, but we couldn't resist touching on the subject of the lack of LAN in StarCraft II.

Pardo was in good spirits when we spoke to him yesterday afternoon when I touched on the controversial subject, which has spawned a wave of forum rage and countless petitions calling for the reinstatement of feature. "You're the first person who asked me about that this weekend," he joked. When I asked if the company was still receiving flack over the decision, his good humour continued. "Only from you guys. Only from the press. Everyone else has accepted it."

Once I finished giggling, Rob got down to brass tacks.
