Lots of news from BlizzCon 2007 this weekend. For the first day summary, see here. Most of the big news were out on the first day, but we have some additional tidbits from the second day, and tons of video coverage on both Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft.

So, here is a massive pile of BlizzCon-related videos, over 7 hours in total. Sit back, grab some popcorn and it'll be almost as good as being there.

Starcraft 2

BlizzCon news on Starcraft 2 was rather limited - all the big things (the fact that there is a Starcraft 2) were already announced back in Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational in Seoul, South Korea. BlizzCon 2007 news was pretty much limited to the introduction of the Terran faction of Starcraft 2, with many new details about their units and gameplay uncovered. Blizzard's official site has a page up, with more to come. For a demonstration, here's BlizzCon 2007 Starcraft 2 panel:

There are also some first-hand impressions from our forum user, Shocked2, who got to play the BlizzCon demo. Check them out on YouGamers/Futuremark forums.
