I woke up this morning with the afterimage of a dream involving space marines and fearsome aliens still imprinted in my mind. Either I'm reading too much Robert Heinlein, or I'm way too giddy for Starcraft 2.
Video Blips:
• A marine-shaped bird told me that Starcraft 2 launches tomorrow. He also cocked his assault rifle against my head and instructed me to share this campaign overview video with the rest of you. I'm just following orders! [Kotaku]
Continue after the break for a lengthy tour of DC Universe Online, a crossover dream come true with Street Fighter X Tekken, and Kratos' endless bloodlust in God of War: Ghost of Sparta.
• Nothing remains for the heroes and villains of DC Universe Online to break — except for each other. Captain Marvel's awesome "Shazam!", an unshaven Superman, Mark Hamill's return as the Joker — this trailer should warn viewers of the possible risk of overloading on geeky euphoria. [GameTrailers]
• Street Fighter X Tekken boasts that it's the ultimate fighting-game crossover. Retro gaming isn't safe, either; check out Mega Man and Pac-Man's hilarious confrontation at the end of the trailer. [GameVideos]
• God of War: Ghost of Sparta has the iconic elements of the successful GOW franchise — Kratos, gory combos, and the severe beating of a notable Grecian figure. "Trust the Midas touch" probably won't bode well for Kratos here. [GameTrailers]
