If just pre-ordering the collectors edition of StarCraft II hasn't satisfied your intense anticipation for the RTS sequel, then perhaps you should head on down to your local EB Games launch party, which kicks off at 9:30pm on July 26th in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. You might even be lucky enough to scoop up some good from AMD, Razer, SteelSeries or Blizzard themselves!

Here's the low-down on what to expect on the night:

• StarCraft Trivia contest: Test your knowledge of the StarCraft universe
• StarCraft Sound-a-like contest: Give your best StarCraft unit impressions - is your Battlecruiser operational?
