    I'm a Starcraft fan! I'd like to get it, but I'm broke :( That and there's 5 boxes I really wanna get lol. I was more of a Protoss and Terran player. Didn't like Zerg. Everyone and their mother wanted to zerg rush.

    The Korean national sport! I used to love playing StarCraft back in the day. I'm considering getting SC II, and if I do, I'll let you know so we can play a few games.

    If you could hold up long enough to max out on wraiths that was the best. Until brood wars that is.

    Huge gaming nerd but not a Starcraft player. It looks nice for an RTS but I've never found them exciting.

    Same. Blizzard doesn't make any games that interest me, but this one will sell well, and make them even more rich.

    Still can't wait for Diablo 3. I used to play Necromancer or Paladin. Now, the necro's gone, but there's the witch doctor.

    Good to see some SC fans. I'm not that good, but I used to play with my friends until 4 in the morning when I was in high school.

    I've seen some of the gameplay trailers for Diablo 3 and it looks pretty awesome. I've never played Diablo 3 but those trailers make me want to get my hands on a demo as soon as one is available.

    Big fan of the original and already nerd-stalked SCII's site for trailers and such. I need to wait a few months to play through my current games before I have the budget on another. However, SCII is a big contender.

    No, not even Diablo. While I think that's one of their stronger titles it's just not my thing. I tend to like more complex, hardcore games.

    I started off as a Terran player but gradually moved on to Protoss. Never really enjoyed playing Zerg. I've always enjoyed 'toss tech more than sheer numbers.

    I played Diablo once at my cousin's and thought it was pretty fun but this was recently and there isn't as many people playing it these days. Above all I'm waiting for the new Star Wars MMO

    Still have my diablo II CD, I tried SC once cause all my friends were playing it, and nobody gave me a tutorial, so i decided to make like 3000 tanks cause i didnt know how to make anything else and got attacked by some air support ships and was wondering why cant i shoot them down.I though that my futurustic tanks will have some rockets but i was wrong!I lasted like hour and half building tanks, and like 5 min fighting! Thats the last time i played it!

    Mine -was- RagingAsian, but I haven't logged on in years. I'm guessing that account's been wiped by Blizzard.

    I couldnt stand diablo, but star craft was tons of fun, my freinds and I played it at least 8 hours a day at my buddies house every day of the summer it was out. ive heard star craft is the same game play as the origional, just much better graphics and eye candy.
