Sarah Kerrigan is All time Greatest Game Villain

Gamespot has chosen Kerrigan as the Greatest All time Game Villain

The votes have been made and it all came down to a battle in the stars between StarWars and StarCraft.

But in the end, Kerrigan triumphed over 64 other great game villains.
The last of which was formidable Sith Lord, Darth Vader.

Say hello to Darth Kerrigan. Even the galaxies of George Lucas have not been spared.

And oh by the way, it is "Villains" not "Villians"
Give her the proper winning title.
Kerrigan might invade your little world with her Zerg brethren if you don't.

You can tweet this to the whole Koprulu Sector by opening the @sc2portal.

Starcraft II Custom Map Contest

Starcraft 2 UMS (Custom Maps) Contest

In our first-ever StarCraft II Custom Map Contest, we're challenging you to craft the most fun, creative, and polished custom map that the galaxy’s ever seen.

If you think you've got the skills, fire up the StarCraft II Editor that came with your copy of the game and get started. The Editor is a powerful, robust, and complete development tool, and it's everything you'll need to build your creation. Keep in mind that we’re looking for originality, innovation, and fun, so whether you want to make the next DotA, create the next Fufu Ninjas, craft a mini-RPG, or concoct a third-person shooter, let your imagination run wild.

"DotA - Wc3 mod that now has a genre named after it."

Even if you've got some experience creating custom maps, you'll want to kick your efforts into overdrive for this one, because the stakes are high. We’ll be choosing three winners to represent the best of what the mapmaking community has to offer. If your custom map is one of those selected, you'll win a trip to BlizzCon 2010 (including airfare and accommodations), and BlizzCon attendees from all over the world will have a chance to play your creation in the StarCraft II demo area at the convention. Of course, it can't hurt to have some spending cash while you're in town, so we'll also throw in $5,000 prize money for each winner.

Map makers will have until September 11 to submit their entries.
