Along with our sister site, collectible toy culture blogTomopop, Destructoid decided to invade New York Comic Con this past weekend. Comics? Who needs ’em. (Answer: me.) But we heard through the grapevine that there would be some videogame-related stuff to see, so we crawled out of bed and made our way to the Jacob Javits Center to scope things out.
So maybe John Woo didn’t announce aMetroidfilm (boo? yay?), but there was still plenty of stuff to see. Konami was on hand withMetal Gear Online, as well as playable builds ofHellboy: The Science of Evil(for PSP, PS3, and Xbox 360),New International Track & Fieldfor the DS, and more. Activision had just announcedSpider-Man: Web of Shadows, and were offering fans the chance to audition for a voice-over part in the game. SouthPeak Interactive had a huge showing of original titles, including the just-announced PS2 breakdancing title,B-Boy, and the inventive and quirky DS title,Mr. Slime.
Over the next day or two, I’ll be bringing you impressions and information from the show, along with a short interview with the Executive Producer ofSpider-Man: Web of Shadows, Graham Fuchs. For those with a love of toys andSquare-Enix, don’t missTomopop’s stellar coverage of the event.
