StarCraft 2 Image Preview
Blizzard has released another round of gameplay screenshots for its long-awaited StarCraft II. In addition to the new screenshots of the forthcoming RTS, Blizzard has also announced new details about the Zerg as a playable race for the game (previously, Blizzard had only shown off the Terran and Protoss units in demos).
According to Blizzard, the Zerg will feature new units that will change StarCraft II's strategy and tactics. Many of the Zerg's original units will be returning, such as the Hydralisk and Mutalisk, though others such as the Queen will have new abilities like base defending strengths. But some new units have been added, including the Roach, a fast-moving melee attacker that regenerates quickly; the Corrupter, an air-to-air combat unit that takes over enemy units and turns them into turrets; and the Infester, which is designed to sneak underground into Terran buildings and use dark swarm to take them over.
