In a moment of weakness, I got convinced by a friend to buy Starcraft 2.
it was good enough. it wasn't zomg best evar but I enjoyed it.
i just was intrigued by the online play/matchmaking. he plays it "pro", so he looks at it from another level entirely
yeah the custom maps are pretty awesome, I've been stunned at some of the stuff people have created.
for some reason I did not get into it the way I did the first one
