This footage of touch-screen Starcraft (greatest real-time strategy game ever, by Blizzard, naturally) sizzles.

Lest ye doubters think it fake, consider: (a) this isn't the game's replay interface, (b) the mouse pointer teleports to the exact location of finger touches.

that's bloody awesome!!!

although it does look a little clunky in SC, the notion of touch screen commands is so, natural, for RTS games

its cool, but the touchscreen interface plays pretty slow too. Imagin have both hands doing the control instead of two fingers.
