BTW, I have never played the PC game of StartCraft.

If so, then you might enjoy this game. Like WoW, I can't imagine you enjoying this game without being interested in the subject matter.

Though I've just skimmed the rules, its totally different than TI:3.

BTW the Starcraft BattleChest is a GREAT deal. You get a lot of game (albeit with dated graphics) for the price.
