you can download sc2 pretty easily right now and play the campaign and test it on your comp

before you go off and buy a new copy with a battle.net key
You got it.. And since I don't have endless hours online to spend.. the campaign was what I was hoping to be good. That and playing computer opponents while on a plane.. in an airport.. downloaded the PC version (which has the mac version integrated) cracked it.. played the campaign.. deleted it all...

God I was first inline for starcraft one.. even got the limited edition protoss shirt with it.. Maybe it's just me but the graphics are better but the setup is the same. A couple of new units are nice but it's still the same thing.. alot of the strategies remain almost the same..

as to PC gaming dieing.. well that has to deal with the evolution of hardware.. nothing more... see a console is a fixed platform so "good graphics" are well pretty much everyone is on the same playing field.. as a game developer for a PC you must hit a moving target... Graphics cards get a speed bump every 2-3 months.. PC's the same and you must build a game to take advantage of the idiot who spent 4k SLI'ing 4 nvidia cards and has 20 gigs of ram and the latest intel chip overclocked into oblivion.. vs the guy who just bought an emachine for $399 at costco because it was a great deal and said "great for games" on the sticker in the front.. your game must play on both those machines.. that's a tall order.. not only that but it needs to play under xp, vista, windows 7, and mac os... that's alot of QA... especially with the service packs etc.
