Blizzard releases three official StarCraft 2 mods
11
Blizzard has finally released three of the four official StarCraft 2 mods it announced at BlizzCon last year -- though, the one that didn't make the cut might surprise you. Players can now download Aiur Chef, which might possibly be the world's first cooking/RTS title; Starjeweled, a gem-swapping puzzler with a few light strategy elements thrown in for good measure; and Left 2 Die, in which players build up their base and train units to defend it when hordes of infected Terran come to play at night.
That leaves poor little Blizzard Dota standing alone out in the cold, with no indication of when it might get an official release. Don't worry, little guy -- we don't think the multiplayer online battle arena genre's gonna get stale anytime soon.

I normally hate people who do this ... But this is really old news.
I think I was playing Aiur chef and starjeweled what feels like 6 weeks ago, but not sure on the exact time.
Does no one on the joystiq staff play starcraft :[

Makes sense. A half-assed DoTA mod just can't compete with a full product nowadays. The genre saturation is growing pretty quick.

Leave it to Blizzard to come up with some original, uh-oh.
