EuroGamer - My hero, it transpires, is a man named Grubby.
Grubby's inferior human name is Manuel Schenkhuizen, and he hails from the Netherlands. He's mild-mannered and pleasant, as far as I can gather, and he's atypically good at StarCraft 2. He's a genius at it, a real pro. He's not as atypically good as some of the other pros gathered in Versailles for the European leg of Heart of the Swarm's Global Launch event, though. The pre-match chatter suggests that Grubby's not going to win tonight's competition. It's a four man affair composed of two semi-finals (each built of three games each), which are capped with a tense three-game decider. Grubby's good, but he's going out in the first round.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "I recently completed an article series about the history of real-time strategy, and going through so many different games that have shaped the face of the genre over the last 30 years got me thinking. Which real-time strategy titles are the ones that have had the greatest influence on the genre's development throughout its history? What you're reading now is my answer to that particular question."

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "It’s Valentine’s Day, and that means a lot of chocolate, roses and tender moments with those we love the most. And while love might be one of the most powerful emotions of all it’s not exclusive to the realm of us ‘living’ beings as video game characters have proven time and time again that love transcends all dimensions, even virtual ones. So for this very romantic edition of Knights of the Round Cable we are taking a look at our favorite video game couples, the ones that reminds us that love exists in all forms, whether it be pixels or polygons."
