Details are scant, but it's official, CS:GO has been announced! There is no launch date, no screenshots or videos yet, and it looks to be coming out on PC (and consoles; Valve I am disappoint…)
From the official steam page:
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago.
CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.
"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."
CS: GO is being developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year's PAX Prime and Eurogamer Expo.

The first non-official StarCraft2 video I've seen so far, set to the tune of Banana Phone:
If anyone knows where to get this skin pack, please post it in the comments 
There are some other worthwhile videos at the Machinima YouTube Channel
From the youtube description:
"Meet the Spy, one of nine playable character classes in Team Fortress 2. He is deadly—handsome, that is. But mostly deadly. He is a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in riddles, lovingly sprinkled with intrigue, express mailed to Mystery, Alaska, and LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! but it is too late. You’re dead. For he is the Spy—globetrotting rogue, lady killer (metaphorically) and mankiller (for real).
First video of Meet the Spy on YouTube. Enjoy."
(The music is less than desirable in some of these, but they’re more about the eye candy than the audio supplement)
First, there was the (somewhat…but not really) revolutionary surf_fruits
Then, came the slightly more polished surf_vegetables
And finally, after much anticipation and speculation, the latest release from Velocity Studio, surf_animals
All of these lovely maps can be played on [F10]Surf-n-Turf, more info can be found on the F10 community portal
