2009 will be a big year for RTS games, with major releases like Dawn of War 2 and Empire: Total War, but neither will be able to best the greatness that is StarCraft 2!

I couldn't agree with you more.

I hope it's as great as the original game.

From what I played of it in Paris last month, there is no doubt in my mind that this will be one of the best games to be released next year

Red Alert 3 and SC2 are the RTS games I can ever play

I'm sorry, SC2 might be awsome and all. But it does not seem like they are doing anything more with the game than wamping up the old SC to the next gen of games, please correct me if i'm wrong. Red Alert 3, I hate the look of it, but that's one that even i'l play. And I freakin hate RTS games.

I'm excited for SC2... I'm hoping it's better then the original!

I've been playing a bunch of Brood War recently and it is definitely one of the best RTS' I've played.  Really looking forward to Starcraft II coming out next year!

Yeah I'm going with StarCraft II

Might be because I'm a huge fan of StarCraft but I'll have to say SC2. I've played Dawn of War without really liking it and Red Alert has never been a game of my taste. Will probably buy all three of them though.

It has to be RTS of the Year . Blizzard games just seem to turn to gold. They have a "Magical development team"

I would vote for SC2 over any other game just based on Blizz's past reputation
I mean have you seen the alpha pictures of starcraft? and then they made it into the Starcraft we all know and love today

Starcraft alpha

Its gonna be good. Is the new red alert released this year?.

Starcraft II is one of two candidates to win GOTY. The other one is Spore, because it is so different.

Starcraft II is going to be one of the biggest candidates for Game of the Year in 2009. I'm predicting SCII will be released sometime this year, probably around late-November or December. Oh man, after a decade later, Starcraft has returned...I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

Oh man the first one is still played today....10 long years and still going strong...just imagine when Starcraft II comes out....possibly 50 years hahha dammit I may be exaggerating a little bit...LOL

"Its gonna be good. Is the new red alert released this year?."

Hate to plug in Halo Wars, but that's also going to be a heavy hitter when it comes to RTS's. I never had gotten into StarCraft, but I might play StarCraft II.

Starcraft II will win GOTY Starcraft won it, Warcraft III won it, and World of Warcraft won it. Starcraft II will win it. Blizzard is incredible

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Endwar











haha

Isn't Starcraft 2 basically going to be an updated Starcraft 1? Similar gameplay? How has nobody here mentioned Company of Heroes? Now there's a quality RTS.

I agree, because I too have already played this.

I love rating games before they come out too!

I know, Blizzard doesn't let people down, but there's always a first.
