Yes it is in the same universe but if what I remember is correct it was a action game developed for the x-box. No PC strategy game based on the starcraft universe was ever announced (i.e. excluding the first one).

On the other hand considering that the starcraft universe is a rip off of the warhammer 40k one, all we need would be a second expansion of Dawn of War with the Tyranids as a playable race, and we would have a better alternative to starcraft.

Here's one that ticked me off. Sierra's Babylon 5 game. Yes the TV show had horrific acting, but the storyline was great as were the special effects.

*snip*

Then Sierra canceled it.

Fortunately you can download a similiar title called I Found Her. It's fun, and features that spiffy inertial control system. It's also tough to fly.

Seconded (except for most of the acting, esp. Andreas Katsulas 😀 ), this was a huge disappointment when it got canned last second. History of this can be seen at www.firstones.com.

I was talking about the sequel to the original, which was a terrific game and was a tremendous hit for Lucas Arts.
They announced on 2002 "Full Throttle: Hell on Wheels" which was going to be the "3D" sequel, eight years after the original release, and out of the blue they announced by a press release on August 7th 2003 that they "didn't want to disappoint the fans" so they were discountinuing the development. They disappointed the fans after all
