Not sure if you're picking up StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty when it comes out tomorrow? Or maybe you are, but you don't want to fork out the extra dough for the Collector's Edition. To you we say behold: Mini Thor.
People who purchase the Collector's Edition can (and in fact must) register their copy to their battle.net account. If they've got a World of Warcraft account attached, Mini Thor will be awaiting them in their mailbox. As soon as you open your mail, you'll also get a Feat of Strength in WoW's achievement system, signifying that you totally bought that thing.
Mini Thor is probably the coolest pet we've seen – better even than the cockroach you can buy from Undercity. Also of note: the Thor in StarCraft II can't fly, while Mini Thor clearly can. This breaks canon and is a slap in the face, Blizzard. A slap in the face.
Love, betrayal, and insectoid alien thingies that infest you until you beg for death—StarCraft has everything that gives lasting power to any space opera. Since Blizzard’s seminal real-time strategy game debuted in 1998, it has spawned an intense cult following, launched a reinvention of the global esports scene, and redefined the RTS genre all at the same time. Ten years after the sequel, TechRaptor takes a look at the legacy StarCraft II has forged.
i think these articles are misleading. wings of liberty is literally dead. so is heart of the swarm. Blizzard moved everything over to Legacy of the Void. if someone can let me know how to play wings of liberty or HOTS, let me know.

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."
