Keep in mind that some other dudes want you to pay a recurrent monthly fee for playing on their servers. All Blizzard titles provide free access to battle.net and a replayability that I have yet to find in other games. I have had played SC 1 for several years before SC 2 came out.

We had elections in Quebec, Canada last week. There was an attempt to kill the newly-elected Prime Minister.
