Starcraft 2 Update



I beat Starcraft 2 recently.  Its the third game I beat this year behind Super Mario Brother 2 and Plants VS Zombies.  Starcraft 2 is one of those games that I will be playing off an on for quite some time.  Blizzard added achievements and generally speaking, I don't care about them in most games.  The achievements in Starcraft 2 are something I actually care about getting.  I started at the first map and replayed it to get an achievement I missed.  It was fun to see them all get filled in for that mission.  25 more to go I guess.

There are a few missions where you can choose one path or the other.  I wonder how the game plays out if you chose something else.  I plan on going back over the single player to see the other paths as well as increase the difficulty level.  I played through on normal and only lost a few times.  I am going to try things on hard, see if thats more of a challenge.  It was fun to absolutely decimate the enemy, but its nice to actually have to come up with a new strategy because the other side is good.


I got the Starcraft 2 collectors edition instead of a digital download OR the plain box game.  Ive really enjoyed the soundtrack and the other stuff it came with.  After I beat the game I watched the making of DVD and was pretty impressed with the effort that went into making the game so amazing.  It also came with a comic book that was OK.  I was lost at times trying to figure out what was going on.  The art book was really cool.  I wanted a few posters of some of the art in the book and if is available I may just do that.  All in all if Blizzard releases Collectors editions for the later Starcraft 2 releases, I will pick them up without hesitation.  I guess I am one of the few people that like having a physical product to hold and experience.  Then again, I still buy CDs for much the same reason.
