StarCraft: Ghost.  It was on the drawing board and in development for almost eight years.  A FPS, the plug was pulled following World of WarCraft.  They decided that they couldn't do something, or that the market was too flooded with FPS(not sure which).  And really, all an FPS is is really the same thing over and over again, how original can you make it every time?
"Your mighty GDI forces have been emasculated, and you yourself are a killer of children.  Now of course it's not true.  But the world only believes what the media tells them to believe.  And I tell the media what to believe, its really quite simple." - Kane (Joe Kucan) Command & Conquer Tiberium Dawn (1995)

it seem cool, but its seem too much like the first
the should have put a new race in the game, anyway when the have a demo (if the have one) i will see if it seem worth buying or not.

There's a lot of discussion about SC2 in other forums I visit. Some complain of the lack of innovation SC2 seems to apply.

Personally I think it looks great, even without a new race or new heroes. Starcraft's formula is tried and true, and it's certain to live long and yes, prosper, since the game is played as a national eSport over in Korea.

Likely going to snag a copy when it ships, if for no other reason than to make scenic maps like I did in Wc3 :D
