If you’re a Blizzard fan, chances are that you have been looking at Starcraft 2 for months and possibly years now. We’ve all been wondering: when’s the release date? Well, the release date still has not been announced, however, they did announce big news at BlizzCon: Starcraft 2 will be a trilogy. The three parts of the trilogy are: the Human campaign – “Wings of Liberty,” the Zerg campaign – “Heart of the Swarm,” and the Protoss campaign – “Legacy of the Void.” Now, everyone is probably thinking, “This is just Blizzard’s way of sucking more money from us.” That is simply not true, and here’s why:

Here at NVISION 08, we’ve taken a close look at a few shining stars (or computers, however you want to look at it).

Out of the ten million WoW players, less than five percent are interested or even aware of end-game content. Most players know that level 70 is the highest level that you can achieve; however, many of them don’t know that level 70 is where the most interesting part of WoW begins.
Instead of gaining more experience to level, players work extremely hard to acquire better gear and items. This requires hours of dedication inside dungeons and on raids (a.k.a., much larger dungeons). Raids must be run well by leaders; otherwise, they fail.
