This is going to kick ASS!

Finally StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty was, without a doubt, one of the best games of 2010 and one of the best RTS games out there. It had solid strategy gameplay, a good storyline (though it could be better), and brilliant multiplayer. Before Wings of Liberty even came out, Blizzard said that the campaign would be split into three games, one for each faction: the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. In Wings of Liberty, we played the Terran campaign.

Now Blizzard is setting up for the release of the first expansion titled Heart of the Swarm which will be centered around the Zerg. The Protoss will get Legacy of the Void. Sarah Kerrigan will be the main protagonist though whether she'll be a hero or villain protagonist remains to be seen (paraphrasing Wikipedia here). No release date has been announced but it's expected that it will be released sometime in Q1 or early Q2 of 2012.

Anyway, a teaser trailer was released so let's take a look.

I'm anticipating it very much and with Blizzard behind it, I can't see how it will possibly fail. This is going to be awesome. Anyway, tomorrow I'll post my list of the 10 games I'm most excited to see at E3.
