The Zone

That's right folks, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, the first entry to the highly ambitious StarCraft II trilogy is now pushed back to the "first half of 2010." The RTS extravaganza was originally scheduled for release before the end of the year, though it seems the reason for the delay is mostly related to the upgrading work currently being carried out on Battle.net, Blizzard's proprietary online gaming service.

Of course, by now, hearing a game delay announcement from Blizzard is somewhat akin to seeing the sun rise from the east - it's the rule of nature.
