Personally I prefer to play starcraft with a custom map which cuts mineral piles down to 1/3 or 1/4 of normal, and has event triggers to convert gas into minerals when gas > minerals in storage.

Makes it much more interesting, and takes longer too. Territory is actually worth something, instead of just the main enemy base.
You can make use of special abilities...
And the biggest units are actually scary.

Blizzard really isn't a company about innovating. They're a company about refinement. They take existing game concepts and refine it down.

Plus, when starcraft first went into development it looked very similar to warcraft in nearly every aspect leading to accusations it was just a warcraft in space mod. I'm sure in the 2-3 years blizzard takes to get this game up and running they'll have very different graphics and appearances for the game.

Try these:

A little old (2004), but that shouldn't matter.

The mininium system reqs will be interesting. Judging by those shots, it should be able to run on a fairly old PC. Whether this will actually be the case is another matter.

Wow, I checked that out and it looks awesome. Nothing like some good ol' 2v2 blood bath action... hopefully they'll include "classic" maps like hunters blood bath and lost temple.
