Think Starcraft II is not a GOTY Contender? Think Again...

Just about any Blizzard game is a GOTY candidate by default, if only because of their rabid  fanbase.

I'll still wait on Starcraft 2 until they release all three parts in a bundle, though

 

I guess mark down 2014 on your calendar. You won't be getting a sc2 battle chest before then.

Nah, I'd wager they have released all of them by early 2013 since they won't redo the engine, so it's fair to assume they'll bundle them later in the same year.

Besides, I have around 50 games lined up, so I'll be busy for a fair while regardless.

Well, someone from Blizzard estimated that Heart of the Swarm (next game) will take 18 months from the release of Wings of Liberty. With how long it took for SC2 to actually come out and considering their 18 month estimate for the next game, you'd be foolish to think that they will have it out by early 2013. Even their own hypothetical 18-month per game estimate would peg Legacy for a 2013 release which you shouldn't believe for a second. Like I said, 2014 at the earliest for a battle pack.
