Other than that, the Starcraft 2 kicks major ass. I won't give a lengthy review as there's a crap ton of those out there. I will say in regards to those reviews however, that I disagree with the comments that the ending falls flat. I think it was perfectly fine for a first installment of a story. It wasn't a blatant cliff hanger a la Halo 2, as it brought resolution to the protagonist Jim Raynor. Yes, it left a lot open, but errduh, trilogy.
When you finish the single player campaign there's not a lot left for you to do with the game outside of competitive play. I know a lot of people out there live, breath, and toke that sort of thing, but I was never big on it. That's why I'm really looking forward to seeing what the modding community is going to come out with. The Galaxy Editor is much superior to the original, offering up enough tools to create entire games from different genres. In fact, in the single player campaign there's an arcade console on your ship the Hyperion called the Lost Viking. Homage reference aside, the console contains a fully fleshed out 2D scrolling shooter made in the game engine. I've had a few ideas for some SC2 powered games myself. I might post them here for some quickies in the future, but for now, it has me exploring the editor.
At any rate, I'm starting to ramble so let me close things so I can get back to chores and other constructive things. I have some ideas for small posts which I'll be putting up in the near future. To recap the above: Blizzard Fighter postponed, Starcraft 2 rocks, meaning of life explained. Let me leave you guys off with a couple of glitch pictures from my SC fun.
