I must confess, I've never player with Starcraft either. Truth be told, it always seemed more of a rusher's game, which I find rather boring. But, then again, not playing does limit my ability to comment. As for the next gen coming out - I can't say I'm a big fan of the in game graphics so far. Everything feels like sprites and not 3d models. I realise that from a designer's point of view and a technical point of view it's difficult, a challenge and has some cool look. Nevertheless, my very first thought was Warcraft III looked better than it Hopefully some in game vids and higher res screenshots will put that to rest. @Tofu: Yup, got the irony Oh, on a side note - I really liked Warcraft 3. Ok, the single player more than anything.
