Arrr! Things to Look Out For...

These are the things I look forward to from May 2010 - 2011

Starcraft II (release date 27th July 2010)
Finally, after 12 years since the first game that drove RTS players like me and South Korea to epic total war, Blizzard finally announced the official release date of Starcraft II. Looks like it's time to cock your Gauss rifle Marines! The Zerg rush has return! Kekekeekekeekekekeeke!

Owh Blizzard will release it as a trilogy, so the first part named Wings of Liberty will be released first. From what I understand each chapter represents each species. So Wings of Liberty would be Terran, and the later two would be the brutal Zergs and psionic Protoss.

Time to upgrade all the old PC and laptops ;)

Microsoft Office 2010 (somewhere in 2010)
Finally something new to replace the Office 2007 that is getting obsolete by name. Currently under BETA and the final manufacturing version should be available very, very soon.

Get the BETA and more info on Microsoft Office 2010 here.


Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tide (2011)
Finally! Jack's quest for immortality continues to this forth installation of the PoC. This time its related to the map that leads to the fountain of youth as seen in PoC3: At World's End. Jack's not alone, because Blackbeard is after the same goal too... Nyarrrr!!!

Source and plot spoiler, read here at IMDb.

James Bond: ??? (Unknown Release Date)

Sam Worthington is on a killing spree. From the Terminator, to Avatar, to Clash of the Titans and then for the new James Bond. But sadly, he was turned down because producers did not see him fitting JB's post as the womanizing, tech-savvy, Italian-suit-obsessed Mi6 agent. Either way that means a new James Bond is on its way soon, perhaps in late 2011 or 2012. Hopefully it isn't as lifeless as the previous Quantum of Solace.

Sorry no official link.

Command & Conquer: Generals 2 (Unknown Release Date)
OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG! *fanning my face with my hands vigorously* The moment I heard EA bought the generals2 domain name I knew they are working on the sequel to one of my favorite RTS of all times. Then the day when I came across this music score which apparently will be used in the Generals 2, I went OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG! OMG!OMG! *more fanning*

Although leaked and could be fake, one thing is for sure. Looks like all you veteran Generals out there will be called back to duty. From the music score, I'm guessing we will lead the original 3 factions again; the quasi-religious terror group Global Liberation Army, the huge overpowering red army of China, and the ridiculously high-tech-armed United States of America.


Sorry, no official link.
