An ambitious mod of WarCraft III is being undertaken by Snowflake Entertainment to bring Starcraft a little more up to date.
Blizzplanet has a Q&A with the “Project Revolution” team.
The project is about 50% complete and they promise all the speed and fun of Blizzard’s neglected franchise. They’ve even got a mac programmer on staff to ensure it will work on OSX. (yes!) All you’ll need is to own the StarCraft and Broodwar discs, as this prevents violations of any intellectual property laws.
This should be some good news to fans since (though still unofficial) StarCraft: Ghost has been cancelled.

The one time GameCube exclusive is being sent to another platform.
Resident Evil 4 will be released to Windows PCs in May courtesy of Ubisoft. The game appears to be a port of the generously expanded PS2 version, with the “Seperate Ways” campaign, extra costumes, and more weapons.
While its easy to make the arguement that the PS2 port of RE4 didn’t look quite as good as the GameCube original, I look forward to seeing what the game looks like on a high-end PC. Ubisoft has done some really graphically amazing games the last couple years, so I hope there are some enhancements and this isn’t just a straight port.
But if it is a straight port and this is your first chance to play this game: get off your butt and do it. Its as good as everyone says it is.
