Starcraft 2

Earlier in Seoul, Blizzard finally revealed their new project, Starcraft 2. Yup, it finally come!!! The announcement features a trailer and 22 minutes lengthy demo play. There are more new units, and the old units in the original Starcraft will be enhanced with new ability.

One of the coolest new unit is Protoss's Mothership. You can only build one of em, and it is extremely expensive, but it's worth the price.
It has 2 super abilities:
- Time Bomb, that can distort time within an energy field, making enemy fire too slow to actually reach and hit the mothership. Once the time field collapses, enemy shells clatter uselessly to the ground.
- Black Hole, an extremely damaging ability that wrecks flying enemies. The glowing black hole simply sucks in warships, which warp in appearance before disappearing utterly into oblivion.

Other than that, there is a new Dragoon called Immortal, which can activate a super shield to withstand heavy damage, but unable to defend from low dmg. Sounds funny right?

Protoss also introduced a new tank-like unit, called Stalker, which unique ability will be Blink and it has heavy damage, suitable for persuing fleeing units. According to the original site, it is fused by Dark Templar and mechanical equipment. I guess no more dark templar now.

I think most of u guys will know Zealot. Yes, it's the starting unit for Protoss, but it's been further enhanced now, with the Charge ability. Once Zealot reached the required range with the enemy, it will charge at super speed towards the enemy. The ability has a cool animation in the demo video.

There are still more new units and features shown on the demo video. I am too lazy to list it all here. So far they only show some of the Protoss units. Let's hope Blizzard has more surprises awaiting for us.
