They also serve as an excellent primer for those who might be less familiar with the game and eager to learn more. You can find each video in the terran, protoss and zerg sections of the StarCraft II Game Guide. ]]> blizzard@blizzard.com (Blizzard Entertainment) http://www.blizzard.com/news/?2010-11#51130 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 11:30:00 PDT http://us.battle.net/wow/en/media/artwork/warcraft2 The Blizzard Art gallery has been updated with 6 pieces representing the Warcraft universe.

If you've ever read the Sunday morning funny pages, then you already know what to do. Make a comic that will split our sides (a little artistic skill doesn't hurt either...) and you may be among one of three winners chosen every other month. We'll display the winners proudly on our websites and send their creators a good-as-cash gift card. We're opening the contest up to all Blizzard Entertainment franchises, so you can now create a fun, silly, or interesting comic based on the themes and characters from the Warcraft, Diablo, or StarCraft universes to enter.
