Opening with a very fancy CCCP-inspired EA logo and the familiar “Hell March” theme, this trailer gives us a glimpse at what the newest installment in the revered RTS franchise will look and play like.

The units and buildings look a bit similar to the Terran ones in recent Starcraft II footage, but the building animations with floorboards and scaffolds springing up and assembling like origami is one of the impressive little touches found in this game’s engine. Some other details are lines of fences falling down dynamically during combat, along with some impressive explosions and water effects.

Other than that the graphics look dated, but for an RTS that’s to be expected. Perhaps the most exciting footage is near the end, where a gravity bomb is set off, and all the units within a huge radius were pulled in and eliminated in a huge explosion.

The game is due out “Red October, 2008.” Heh.

You heard it, that can only mean one thing. Zerg rush. Now, this may not be the first time we’ve seen them in action in Starcraft 2, but its the first time we can see them doing what they do best. Swarming the shit out of some Terrans. Enjoy these fine videos courtesy of gametrailers! I know I sure did.

Remember some months ago when we had that video of a korean Starcraft tournament? The one with the guy doing an SCV rush? Well he’s a world renowned champion that goes by the nickname of BoxeR, the man is a god when it comes to RTS games. Here’s a video of him playing, watch his lightning fast hands execute an almost obscene ammount of actions per minute.

And yet I only use my mouse when playing RTS…

Mac gamers can add another mark to their tally. Sid Meier’s Civilization IV has come to the Mac. The downside? The system requirements for CIv IV on the Mac are about twice of what the Windows version needs. Users could simply run BootCamp and play it with windows on their Macs. Apple needs to rethink its approach to gaming now that users have more choices.
