Breakfast Topic: We heard you like gaming so we put a game in your game so you can ga


The release of StarCraft II brought about a surprise for the observant player -- an object in the cantina of ship that lets you play an arcade game called Lost Viking right in StarCraft II. This is a fun little shooter that's a cross between Asteroids and Space Invaders (Alex tells me it's a lot like Touhou, although I've never played that), and easily took up an hour of my night. Just the kind of thing to do while waiting for a raid to begin.

The name of the game is a nod to an original Blizzard game called The Lost Vikings which was released back in 1994. In that game you are a Viking and have to find your way home as you escape the evil Tomator. In the StarCraft II arcade game you're a mighty Viking on a ship and must fight your way back to Vikingville. And watch out for the evil Terra-Tron, he does not like you!!!

I hope that Blizzard sees this game as a success and includes a minigame like this in Cataclysm. Something that can be accessed from the mini-menu would be perfect. Given the awesomeness of Blizzard's newly released Lost Viking (see screenshots below for more pictures), let's give Blizzard a helping hand here and suggest what min-games they could include with Cataclysm.

I'm voting for AQ Tetris.
