The offical website for Starcraft 2 is now live here: www.starcraft2.com and has some HQ movies of the cinematic trailer and gameplay, there is also some nice artwork, wallpapers and other stuff.
There is also a small insite into the game, to quote Blizzard:
Last night Blizzard announced Starcraft 2 and put an end to all the rumors. Mainly they have opted to keep number 2 as similar to the original as possible.

As for initial StarCraft 2 impressions - the game looked very similar to SC1 - nearly identical user interface - graphic styles and unit proportions nearly the same - more flashy lighting effects but it seems like Blizzard didn’t want to mess with SC’s underlying formula very much. The screens they showed the video on didn’t display the video very clearly, unfortunately, but the game still looked pretty with some nice animations. We’ll have to wait to bring you any updates on what kind of story elements are in SC2 - hopefully they’re in the panel discussion.
Those of you thinking of firing up Tomb Raider this morning should be aware that Lara Croft is currently unavailable - a guest of Manchester’s Boys in Blue after armed officers cornered the gun-toting minx in a suburban living room.
The house’s owner - computer shop owner David Williams - phoned police at around midnight to report “nuisance phone calls”, The Daily Mail reports. Officers duly made their way to his house in Dukinfield, near Ashton-under-Lyne, but quickly spotted the silhouette of a gunman in the front room.
Proof that rock has no age limits!
This fantastic bunch are “The Zimmers” from The UK, a bunch of OAP’s performing a cover of The Who’s classic - ‘My generation’.
Bliizard’s next game will be a new updated version of their hugly popular Starcraft game. Instead of a RTS thought it appears it will be an MMO like WoW according to the rumor mills.
This promises to be great and hopefully lessons learned in WoW will be implemented into the SCMMO, namely the problems of gold farming, grinding and repetitveness.
Details are currently sketchy at the moment but Blizzard seem set to announce the event on May the 19th in South Korea.
