Things in StarCraft II land have calmed down a bit but there's still some excitement in the air about the game and about other PC game developments:

• You can now purchase and download the StarCraft II soundtrack via iTunes for $9.99.
• Is this a teaser site for Irrational Games' next title?
• AMD has released the new 10.7 ATI Radeon Catalyst graphics drivers.
• Steam has a sale of Everquest and all of its expansion packs in one bundle for $14.99.
• Steam also has Trainz Simulator 2010 on sale.
• Impulse has added some of Bethesda Softworks' older games to its line-up, although don't expect Fallout New Vegas to be added thanks to its use of Steamworks.
• Direct2Drive offers a playable Federation Ferengi as a free bonus if you get Star Trek Online from them.
• You can now watch that Ghost Recon Alpha live action teaser trailer on GameTrailers.com.
• Medal of Honor and Linkin Park? Apparently so.
• Just watch this. It's funny.

As we reported a few weeks ago, Ubisoft had a panel at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con that not only had a discussion and demo of the upcoming shooter Ghost Recon Future Soldier but also showed and discussed a preview of the previously announced Ghost Recon-themed live action short film.

The one minute preview of the movie, which has the title Alpha, showed members of the Ghost team taking out an Eastern European military installation. GameSpot reports that the movie showed some high production values and "will certainly appeal to fans of the high-action, big-explosion action film genre." And yes, there will be Ghost team members cloaked in the movie like they will be for Future Soldier. Both game and movie will be released in 2011.
