StarCraft 2: Wings Of Liberty (2010) |
 StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. A sequel to the award-winning 1998 video game StarCraft, the game was released worldwide on July 27, 2010. It is split into three installments: the base game with the subtitle Wings of Liberty, and two upcoming expansion packs, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void.
Set in the 26th century in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy, the game revolves around three species: the Terrans, human exiles from Earth; the Zerg, a race of insectoid genetic assimilators; and the Protoss, a species with vast psionic power. Wings of Liberty focuses on the Terrans, while the expansions Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void will focus on the Zerg and Protoss, respectively. The game is set four years after the events of StarCraft: Brood War, and follows the exploits of Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion. The game includes both new and returning characters and locations from the original game.
The game was met with very positive reviews from critics, receiving an aggregated score of 93% from Metacritic. Similar to its predecessor, StarCraft II was praised for its engaging gameplay, as well as its introduction of new features and improved storytelling, while criticism targeted features that existed in the original StarCraft game but were removed in StarCraft II, such as the lack of LAN play.... |

Rapidshare signed its death contract! |
|
After Rapidshare's failed attempt to introduce its five-package rip-off deal to the public 1st of July, and the strong international reactions of its customer base, Rapidshare has permanantly retracted its five-package program but has not instituted the point system that it withdrew!
It seems that all along RS had in mind a plan to kill its uploaders. No serious hoster makes such a strategic mistake just to take it back a couple of days after. After they bunched all customers up in their platform one good ol morning they decide to blackmail the customer base into making a cartload of money.
But it seems that they're not a getting a penny from anyone. Most users are moving to different file hosters like Megaupload and Hotfile. It should be a mass move though or else downloaders will just disperse to various hosters turning into a "babel" of file hosting posts to everyones disadvantage.
Reactions to this decision are worldwide and all downloaders are calling for the boycott of Rapidshare...
