The closest thing to a Starcraft 2 zerg update that we have at the moment are the 2 screenshots released by starcraft-source (the third one, being a TvT screenshot).
You might be wondering what the green explosions are. At first glance one might think that blizz might have decided to change the Zerg’s blood color to green but Karune explained that those are actually from the baneling’s self-destruct/dying animation.
Mutalisks look and feel like gargoyles from Warcraft 3 but they aren’t really new stuff since we’ve seen them in action before on previous Starcraft 2 sneak peeks (Screenshots and Videos). The biggest star for this batch of screenshots would be the Overlord, making it’s first appearance on the second screenshot. As you can see, the overlord’s model is very similar to Starcraft 1’s, and it’s a welcome sight for those who are just dying to see some zerg updates. The biggest mystery now would be the the pack of zerglings on flame on the first screenshot. Clearly, no firebat could have ever charged into the fray over there since the ramp is blocked by zerglings, thors and a couple of terran buildings. It could be from the thor but if that was the case then the zerglings would have been blown to bits instead of being set aflame.

This is my MMO/FPS List. If you want me to add a game to it, just reply to this post and I’ll add it as soon as I can. This list has nearly every free MMO on the market.
Free FPS
These games are the first person shooters I think are worthy of adding onto this list. Some of these games also have a single player mode. I have removed games such as “Freedoom” and “Marathon” from the list, due to online inactivity (Or lack thereof), or dated graphics.
Savage: The Battle for Newerth
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Mods: TrueCombatElite
______Fortress
Other Free Downloads
Commercial Games Released As Free
I’m putting all of the recent ones (Year 2000+) that I haven’t mentioned so far.
Command & Conquer (Part 1) (Part 2)
Free MMORPG
I really don’t want to do this section, just because there are so many of them. This section will be completed soon, however. I’m not going to include browser based games.
Dogs of the Seas: Pirates at War
Closed Beta
Hurry, before the invites are all gone!
Open Beta
Recommendations
These are the games that I’ve played and highly recommend to people. Keep in mind I haven’t played everything (And not even close to it), so this list isn’t the most accurate out there.
OpenArena - Standalone Mod for Quake III. Lots of players, and it works very nicely! — FPS
Phosphor - Great if you’re looking for a quick fix. FPS
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - It’s really annoying to get working and find a good server. Try the NoobyLand server. FPS
ArchLord - Great MMORPG. It used to be P2P, but has recently switched to F2P. MMORPG
Dungeon Runners - Hilarious MMORPG. It mocks all other MMOs, and will make you laugh occasionally. MMORPG.
Rakion - Really fun as long as you don’t suck. PVP Game.
Space Cowboy Online - Very different style MMO. The PVP is phenomenal. MMORPG.
Mythos - The only way to describe this is to say “Diablo III”. MMORPG
