StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a huge game, but not everyone currently clicking away on keyboards may be aware of why it's such a big dealIt's been twelve years since the first StarCraft came out, and while it's still an incredibly popular game, there are still those out there who've grown up without harvesting vespene gas or launching a Yamato Cannon blast from a Terran Battlecruiser.

So why get excited about the sequel if you never played the first? It may be a difficult thing to understand if you don't already know the game and the genre.
