It was the event that kept on giving. Not content with making what has to go down as the most exciting live reveal in videogames history in Diablo III, the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris this weekend continued to show tons of information on StarCraft II, WoW: Wrath of the Lich King and people getting their faces painted so they look like murlocs. It had it all. Hit this for all our coverage both live from the first day of the show and afterwards, and see below for everything that happened overnight.

Shachnews is reporting that a track “inspired by Blizzard’s PC MMO World of Warcraft” will soon be available for download on PSN and Xbox Live.

The track, “I am Murloc,” is a thrash-metal song that was played at BlizzCon 2005, “a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the beloved race of fish-people by Blizzard Entertainment’s house band, Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain” apparently.

Can’t wait.
