t's been less than twenty four hours since Blizzard announced the second coming of Starcraft and there's already a glutton's feast of media to peruse. I've collected a ton of screenshots and concept art here as well as some video of gameplay (after the jump). But this is really just a tiny taste of what's out there floating around. All the videos you could want are currently running around GameTrailers and GameVideos and to see the rest of the screenshots and artwork, check out the epic Starcraft 2 website That is, if you haven't already. Which, if you are any kind of true fan, you've already been over with a fine toothed comb. Several times. Obsessively.

In the 2nd of Blizzard's podcasts VP of creative development Chris Metzen - Blizzard's story supremo, creator of the original Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo storylines - says of StarCraft II that it will be "much more cinematic" than the first game and that "I think we're all doing the best work of our careers". "Just getting back to that Blizzard of yesteryear where it's not all about WoW - don't get me wrong, I love WOW! But we're so much more than that."

When Bobby Kotick was discussing Guitar Hero expansion and the possibility of a Call of Duty MMO at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference last week, he also brought up a much less appetizing prospect: in-game advertising in StarCraft 2. ... Shh, if you're very quiet, you can hear fanboy hearts all over the world shattering and being replaced by churning, white-hot fury.
