Starcraft 2 release date

All ye Starcraft fans!

The decade-long wait for the sequel to the most popular real-time strategy PC game of all time is almost over.

As the most anticipated game for 2010, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will be finally released a week from now.

Heck, I was so addicted to it that I even failed one of my college subjects because I concentrated on perfecting my Terran, Zerg and Protoss strategies instead of making an electronic computer design work.

This game is so addicting that until now, many are still playing it (not including me anymore) and in fact, there are tournaments held for the game.

In an interview with Dan Patrick, UFC President Dana White said that the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar center Shaquille O’Neal has been ‘terrorizing’ him for years to fight in the UFC.

In the virtual world of video games, Shaq and his deadly Shaq-urikin has already appeared in Shaq-Fu which was released in 1994 by Sega.

In the newly released UFC Undisputed 2010, O’Neal appears as a secret character that will be unlocked once you enter the proper combination of cheat codes.
