One of the most hyped games lately was officially announced not long ago. In August, lucky non-Blizzard-employees will get to play StarCraft 2.



So what's so special about August? Why would people get to play it that month specifically? In August, Blizzard is having their yearly based BlizzCon in Anaheim. This can be read in a news post at Blizzard.com:

Visitors to BlizzCon 2007 will be treated to the first-ever public hands-on with StarCraft II. Demo stations will be set up at the convention, and attendees can sample the new units and gameplay elements for themselves in multiplayer battles. We’re excited to offer this exclusive opportunity to our players, and look forward to seeing you at BlizzCon.


However, tickets for the event are already sold out, and it will be hard to get your hands on the ones that are scalped.
