Russell Brower shares his thoughts on being an audio director for Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.
One of the most highly anticipated games this year, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty has finally reached our PCs. If you've ever had the slightest interest in getting into Starcraft or real-time strategy games in general, you probably should do so. Kevin VanOrd's thorough review below should help you decide, but I'll just sum it up for you now: Go get it. For those who have picked up a special collector's edition version of the game, you'll know that it comes with the soundtrack as well, which is definitely worth a listen. Given that players will be spending hours upon hours in the campaign or in multiplayer, the music and sound team needed to come up with tunes that not only fit the game, but also accompanied the game so that they didn't become distracting.
Love, betrayal, and insectoid alien thingies that infest you until you beg for death—StarCraft has everything that gives lasting power to any space opera. Since Blizzard’s seminal real-time strategy game debuted in 1998, it has spawned an intense cult following, launched a reinvention of the global esports scene, and redefined the RTS genre all at the same time. Ten years after the sequel, TechRaptor takes a look at the legacy StarCraft II has forged.
i think these articles are misleading. wings of liberty is literally dead. so is heart of the swarm. Blizzard moved everything over to Legacy of the Void. if someone can let me know how to play wings of liberty or HOTS, let me know.

VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "I recently completed an article series about the history of real-time strategy, and going through so many different games that have shaped the face of the genre over the last 30 years got me thinking. Which real-time strategy titles are the ones that have had the greatest influence on the genre's development throughout its history? What you're reading now is my answer to that particular question."
