Black Friday: 50% Discount on StarCraft II
Blizzard is no stranger to smash hit titles as many of their franchises have pushed out several of the kind. World of Warcraft, for example, has managed to hold the MMORPG throne ever since it hit the market. StarCraft too has managed to stay one of the premiere RTS titles even spawning a massive competitive scene that has seen South Korean pros turned from your typical gamer into a high paid celebrities.
StarCraft’s most recent iteration, dubbed StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, is no different and has managed to put up massive sales numbers along with spurring massive interest in the competitive gaming scene. Due to such massive hype the game is still priced at $60 over a year after its been released.
If this is too expensive for you but you’re still looking to get down on the fun listen up. Starting on November 25th, infamously known as Black Friday, Blizzard will be offering StarCraft II for 50% off dropping the price tag down to about $30. Those looking to grab this deal should make haste as it expires the following Monday and may be one of the only chances to get such an active title at this low of a price.

StarCraft II gets Adult’s Only rating in South Korea
South Korea is widely known as one of the most StarCraft (and technology in general) friendly nations in the entire world. You would think that with the forthcoming release of StarCraft II, pretty much everyone would be getting it.
Well, that not may be true as recent reports have surfaced that say the game will be receiving an Adult’s Only rating. This would, of course, mean that only people 18 and older would (legally) be able to purchase the game.
Regardless of the rating I’m sure the nation is going to accept StarCraft II with open arms.
