News - StarCraft Brood War

Aaron "EdFishy" Harris, part of Project Revolution, has written an editorial inspired by the Tauren Marine. The humourus meld of the Warcraft and StarCraft universes has fueled his creative fire. He has produced an editorial from an in-character perspective. He focuses aggresively on the stylistic choices of StarCraft II from a graphical perspective, specifically regarding the recent Zerg releases.

This is the first StarCraft: Legacy guest editorial. Other guest articles will be presented perodically to add a different perspective to different StarCraft topics. StarCraft: Legacy presents proudly: "Zerg are from Zerus the Swarm is from Azeroth". You can view the editorial here.





IGN interviewed some senior employees from Blizzard Entertainment to celebrate StarCraft's ten year anniversary. This Q&A article is a balanced mixture of humour and analysis of StarCraft's success. The sense of nostalgia is captured by personal accounts of the StarCraft experience - from varying perspectives - inside Blizzard. Additionally, on page three, there is an interesting quote from Frank Pearce:

When we launched StarCraft and the reviews started coming in, most of the media, their biggest comment was, "Yeah, it seems fun, but it's not 3D." Right? And 10 years later, the game is still popular, it's sold almost 10 million units, and it's still only 2D, and no one cares anymore that it wasn't 3D. So I say that we learned that we shouldn't listen to the media, but what that really taught us is that our focus should be on a quality gameplay experience first.
