When it rains, it pours. Blizzard became the latest game developer to announce a delay to 2010. In this case, for its long-awaited PC strategy game Starcraft 2.

In a press release, Blizzard announced that the game would not be ready for release by the end of 2009 due to online gaming service Battle.net. "The upgraded Battle.net is an integral part of the StarCraft II experience and will be an essential part of all of our games moving forward." Blizzard stated in a press release. "This extra development time will be critical to help us realise our vision for the service."

Starcraft 2 is the latest video game to miss its 2009 release date, joining BioShock 2 and a swag of Ubisoft titles.

Microsoft Office 365/Dell XPS 15 2-in-1

I’d recommend a Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 and the new Windows 10 to anyone who needs to get serious work done (before you kick back on your couch with your favourite Netflix show.)

Brother PT-P750W

It’s useful for office tasks as well as pragmatic labelling of equipment and storage – just don’t get too excited and label everything in sight!

The Brother MFC-L8900CDW is an absolute stand out. I struggle to fault it.

MSI GT75 TITAN

I need power and lots of it. As a Front End Web developer anything less just won’t cut it which is why the MSI GT75 is an outstanding laptop for me. It’s a sleek and futuristic looking, high quality, beast that has a touch of sci-fi flare about it.
