I have a feeling IGN and Gamespot will give it 10's as well.

It's just that simple.

Isn't this only a 3rd of the full game?

only if e.g. mass effect 1 is considered only a third of the full game.

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.

Haha nevermind, which reminds me never to read Yahoo!'s articles on video games.

RTS is not my cup of tea.

Starcraft name is so big it doesn't get penalty from being more of the same :)

You take that back. Now.

It's not my cup. I don't want to take it.

That's totally understandable and I accept it, you cannot claim "more of the same" though. Hell, not on Starcraft you can.

I wish it was more of the same. Starcraft 2 has nothing of what made the original so great. It's a good game in it's own right, but it's not Starcraft.

From most I would take this as being like a complaint from a Zelda fan (yuk yuk yuk), but you saying this has made me intensely curious, especially since I wasn't a big Starcraft player.

What's wrong with the sequel?

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.
