Starcraft: The Sequel.
After what seems like a millenium.. The game developers of Starcraft and Starcraft:Brood War, Blizzard, have finally come and introduced Starcraft 2 the sequel to the legend of Starcraft.. =p
I'm sure everyone has at least heard of Starcraft, which is a real-time strategy game type, whereby players control many individual units, with the sole goal of eliminating the enemy's units with their own. And if you've played Starcraft before.. I'm sure you'll remember the BattleCruisers from the Terran gliding across the sky, the Carriers of the Protoss releasing those small yet powerful mini-ships of theirs, and the Zerg with their hydralisks burrowing.. and surprising their enemy when they least expect it..
For those that are not familiar with Starcraft, there are 3 races that the player can choose from, namely the Protoss, the Terran as well as the Zerg. And each of these races have their own strengths and weaknesses. As players will find out when playing the game themselves. *drools while thinking of the new Protoss Mothership*
So.. what does Starcraft 2 have to offer? Plenty. With the addition of more structures and units to build for each race, players will now have a Armageddon of units to crush their rivals with, all it takes.. is just to employ the right strategy. And victory will be yours.
Besides the introduction of new units.. The graphics, as Blizzard has promised, would include dazzling visual effects as well as massive unit and army sizes. Also, there will be a single-player campaign story-mode that will carry on from where Starcraft: Brood War left off.. And im sure you and I would both want to know where the story goes.. after what happened previously.. =D..
Sadly, the Blizzard team hasn't given a date as to when Starcraft 2 would be coming out.. Although gamers have been discussing and speculating that it'll probably be coming out in the late 2008.. So.. lets keep our fingers crossed.. and pray that it'll come out soon.
So.. for people who have not played Starcraft before, go get it and play it!! It's definitely one of the best real-time strategy game that i've ever played. So i highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't played it..

FIFA 08 is OUT!!
hey, it's out and it's real.But is only a demo ( haiz ).But, there are some great news for fifa hardcore gamers! The new fifa will feature a entirely new mode.This mode is called “Be A Pro: Co-op Season” that challenges you to master the same disciplines as a real professional football player—from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing. And most importantly, it allows up to 4 human players to play together!!
Some of the key features of the game are manual control of the players ( where you can control them to pass a through ball,control crosses and even have better controls in one-one situation ), custom formations ( This allows you to plan yr desired formation and set the players in the positon u want them to play ), advance AI ( this should be the main key feature as this feature enhance the positioning of the players into better position for passing or shooting ).That is all for the key features.

A Quick review of the demo
And yup, i've downloaded it and test it out myself.Well, overall the game is quite well done.As usual, the graphics is not really good but has improved.Couple of new features work well.There is significant improvement in the ball physics and game play.Players start moving into better position to recieve passes or crosses.However, there is 1 thing i must comment.That is the problem with passing and using of the through ball function.The passes lack strength and accuracy.1 good point is the dribbling of the players, the posture is right and the ball is kept close to the player.The stadium effects and the commentary are good too.
Graphics : 6/10
Sound : 8.5/10
Gameplay:7/10
Overall : 7.2/10 ( recommended to buy )
We'll see how the game improve.Next i maybe posting Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven VS Fifa
