great titles in history. Your kids and grandchildren will end up knowing
about Starcraft, and now, they'll also know about Starcraft II. That
title is one of the most highly anticipated ever, and in order to ride
the bandwagon, Razer has decided to produce a number of new items themed
around the upcoming game.
