The Best of Big Download: May 3 - 9
This week we finally got a release date for StarCraft 2, and its smack-dab in the middle of summer -- a period not known for too many big game releases. Smart marketing or a risk? You be the judge. In the meantime let's look back at Big Download's highlights from the past seven days. (Hey, we've officially been live for two years now. Wow.)
