Are you excited about it? hmm, ive also played all sorts of Blizzard games(all of the ones you mentiones) and loved em all. Blizzard is a good game company, no? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Meh, I've stopped being excited about Warcraft III. Honestly I'm kinda afraid that it's going to be Warcraft II with a few new units and campaigns. It really doesn't sound as if it has THAT many good new things.... Of course Warcraft II ruled majorly and a few rare times I still reinstall it for a LAN match against a couple of friends [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I just wish that Blizzard hadn't gone away from the half RPG/half RTS design.... That was what really got me excited about Warcraft III when I saw it first.
Blizzard? Pretty good company, even though they haven't produced that many titles every single one of them is memorable. They're a bit slow producing their games, but they do, however, produce remarkably bug-free ones. Notice that their patches fix few bugs and mainly just balance the game more.
You'll have to excuse the wave of D2 hatred, I just cannot stand that game.... Blizzard's one and only failure.
Besides Blizzard my other favorite game producers are:
Westwood(Lands of Lore, Dune RTS series.), Blue Byte(Giving us lots of nice turn-based strategy.), Volition(Freespace 1&2 and Summoner), SSI(Warlords!), Origin(Every Ultima game minus 8&9, also Wing Commander), 3D0(Formerly New World Computing, gave us good RPG's until they reached Might and Magic 6, then it went downhill. M&M 4&5 were absolute legends. I'm gonna reinstall 'em this weekend.), Eidos(Warzone 2100), Sierra(Various Quest games, Betrayal at Krondor) and last but not least, Interplay and Bioware(Infinity Engine games, Fallout, Interplay has part of the responsibility for giving us Freespace 1&2.)
