So I was trying to see what this expansion pack costs, I have to log into my Blizzard account for that. Since I have not played SC2 for a long time I forgot my password. Resetting password, got the e-mail with the confirmation link. Click on the link everything is fine, try to log in again with the new pw, Blizzard locked my account for suspicious activity.
I never though checking a price on something is going to be this fucking difficult.

The game is $39.99USD in the US. Not sure about the rest of the world though.

I played through the first mission before going into work this morning, and definitely liked what I saw. Nothing much is going on at work today -- mostly today I'm just a warm body so that management can say that someone is on duty if anything happens -- so I'm trying to get SC2 up and running in WINE on my Linux laptop.

I must be the minority here that doesn't really care much for story lines in video games.

I largely don't but that's only because after playing these things for decades I've come to realize developers never, ever, ever, ever, ever have anyone except a monkey armed with a crayon do the writing.

CitiesXL is horribly broken, both in game design and technically. It's a bad city simulator all around.

D3 was fail due to terrible itemization and the AH. Though the always on certainly doesn't help. You would think that these publishers would start getting the idea that no one wants forced always on for single player titles.

HAHAHAHAHAA. So typically EA, fantastic. "Simcity UK: Fantastic Game! Worth Every Penny!"

They are so fucking pathetic.

On to 2143: given EA's new "we're going to monetize the shit out of every possible thing" business model, I don't think a Battlefield 2143 game would turn out all that great. In fact, quite the opposite.

I don't mind the map pack type stuff (the BF3 expansions were ok) that much but the lack of a map editor and the inconsistency in fixing problems with the game is really annoying. Other companies have demonstrated you can monetize users contributions to the game, EA is really behind the market in that regard and needs to shape up.

The problem is that, by choosing to allow monetization of user content, they are automatically choosing to give the liberty to those same players to distribute their content for free. And that, is not EA.
