Developer: Blizzard Entertainment

From our StarCraft 2 review:
‘The gameplay may be a decade old but it’s been balanced and tuned to a razor sharp point before being wrapped in an engrossing storyline and excellent campaign mode. The game is chock full of quality missions and set pieces and while there are some ideas that fall a bit flat, the highlights shine through like a high power laser through wet toilet paper.’
