Starcraft 2 Pricing! **UPDATE**!!

It is confirmed by Blizzard that the Singapore copy of Starcraft 2 will cost S$109. Better start saving up! By paying that amount, you'll be able to have unlimited access to the online features of the game.(duh) However Blizzard has plans for "alternate pricing" for future expansions, cheaper maybe? We can only hope. Taken from their press release in California:

"One of our design goals for StarCraft II was to make it accessible to a wide range of players, from beginners to veterans," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "The same is true with regard to our pricing options -- we want to make sure players have the flexibility to experience the game according to their own preferences and play style."

However no news about collector's edition though! When will they acknowledge us to be loyal customers too? :(

**UPDATE**
Rumors are flying around that the game itself will not only be region locked, the local copy is also unable to play with players from other countries.

**UPDATE**

Based on the recent interview with Blizzard's Gobal Manager for Community Development. It is confirmed that the game will be region locked. Reason being they want to build up the community in SEA. However if you wish to play with US players, you can purchase a copy from amazon, have a separate BNET account. So if you're a kiasu type then probably purchase one in Singapore and one in US. Even though I'm sure the US version will still be cheaper.

This fantasy is far from final!

SC2 Galaxy Editor takes custom maps to a whole new level

Thanks to a fellow gamer, djskye.

We've all seen how custom maps changes how games operate out of normal parameters. We've also see how DOTA has taken the world by storm. Thanks to the geniuses at Blizzard, Starcraft 2 is redefining how custom maps work.

Touhou Project is a popular game in Japan which basically pushes the boundaries of arcade-styled shooters to a whole new level. Dodging bullets has never been so intense and fun. And boy it is fun. I'm looking for another reason to pre-order SC2 now, besides the main reason of finding out what Kerrigan or The Queen Of Blades is up to.

Starcraft II lands this July

Hell it's about time, says the Marine, and damn right it is. After all the teasers that Blizzard has thrown at our faces for awhile now, Starcraft II is dated to due this July 27th! It's predecessor and expansion left us with tons of unanswered questions and hints of a cross-racial zerg-protoss breeding in the shadows. Here's to hoping that all those questions be answered come this July. Are you excited?

PS: If you're wondering what's in the collector's edition, look no further, click here.
