Well, almost! Couple of days ago TG Daily reported that Activision will be delaying Starcraft 2 to 2010. Something that was sort of expected, but we still hoped that Starcraft 2 would be a nice Christmas gift. However have no fear, you will have plenty of other good games to play. This fall Activision will surprise you with Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Tony Hawk: Ride and Bakugan Battle Brawlers. You want more? Triple the excitement, triple the action? Get ready for Guitar Hero 5! DJ Hero! And at last but not least: Band Hero!

A whole lot of heroism, this fall in the stor-r-e-ent-s near you!

Blizzard kills LAN support in Starcraft 2

Fingers are still crossed for 2009 release of Starcraft 2, but now with a bitter aftertaste. It appears that Starcraft 2 will lack support for multi-player games over LAN network. Multi-player will be supported only over internet via Battle.Net service. Everyone was aksing why on earth they did that?

“We don’t currently plan to support LAN play with StarCraft II, as we are building Battle.net to be the ideal destination for multiplayer gaming with StarCraft II and future Blizzard Entertainment games. While this was a difficult decision for us, we felt that moving away from LAN play and directing players to our upgraded Battle.net service was the best option to ensure a quality multiplayer experience with StarCraft II and safeguard against piracy.”

Said Bob Colayco from Blizzard.
