PixelVerdict’s resident Canadian contingent returns for another week of hating the things you love, and they bring along a bitchin’ new theme song courtesy of Dan Moore. Jon and Steve reveal a sense of malaise over Starcraft II, leading into a discussion on the Real Time Strategy genre as a whole, and whether or not it’s a dead horse. If so, how can it be saved? Steve talks some DeathSpank, and farmers who are looking for pooh! Meanwhile, Adam puts the kibosh on Dragon Quest (Warrior) IX (9).
This week’s random inquiry asks, “What was the last great Sega game?” Madness follows, and Jon says some very, very bad things.
How do you feel about real time strategy? Were you disappointed with Starcraft II? Care to defend the crapulence that is SEGA in the 21st Century? Why not Let us know in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing feedback@pixelverdict.com.

I’m heartily enjoying Starcraft II. More of the same but prettier is just fine by me. Mind you, I have very little interest in SC multiplayer — I just like the campaigns — so I may not be the best opinion to consult.
Wonderful post m8. I really could certainly not make clear enough how much I adore Starcraft 2. Now i haven’t had it for very long still the recent strategies for Terran, Protoss as well as Zerg which I find out every day keep me personally obsessed with this online game! I also buyed Strategy Guides which helped to put together some pieces of the puzzle. There are so many small tips and tricks that provide you an edge over the other online gamers in the event you know any of them… online game BTW for anyone who’s curious: I found an article with really good build orders for Terran, Protoss and Zerg – just click on my name.
