Over at the official Call of Duty website, community manager Josh Olin (click to follow on Twitter) has posted a new zombie warning sign...only this one doesn't adorn the freeways of Austin, Texas.
CDV has just released a brand new trailer showing off the Xbox 360 version of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. The video should give you a good idea of the interface of this incredibly deep PC RPG. It looks like radial menus and quick keys will be the choice of control, which is perfectly fine with me!
Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao was only announced last week, but that didn't stop Namco-Bandai from showing it off at this past weekend's New York Comic-Con. While we originally thought it looked a lot like RagDoll Kung-Fu - we couldn't be more mistaken.
Even though Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 was supposed to be on hand at this past weekend's NY Comic Con, it was nowhere to be found. I suppose to appease the masses Activision has released a trailer as well as a handful of screenshots.
Familiarity among geeks is essential when taking something we love and introducing it in a new medium. To emphasize the familiar, the new Ghostbusters trailer features movie footage from 1984, and an important lesson delivered by Harold Ramis: Don't look directly into the trap. I can only imagine that the film footage was also to show off the likeness in both features and voice. I was impressed with how everything looks, and noticed a bit of Ghost-fishing with the way the streams seem to work.
To those of you looking for a more involving experience from the PC version of stellar co-op title Left 4 Dead: Nvidia is using our favorite PETZ offender to showcase their newly-available 3D gaming technology.
By far one of the more popular titles on the show floor was Ghostbusters from Atari. With all three systems on display (360, PS3, and Wii) and about six guys cosplaying the crew (their outfits and proton packs were AMAZING) everyone had caught the Ghostbusters fever.
The first co-op game we looked at during the New York Comic Con was actually the best game we saw. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X from Ubisoft not only looked beautiful, it played really well too. Featuring full four player co-op through the entire campaign, in drop-in and drop-out fashion, H.A.W.X. was an easy choice for our game of the show.
I'll admit it, I put way too many hours to count into Bioware's Baldur's Gate on the PC more than 10 years ago. So despite what you see in the above screenshot, when I glared at the screen at the NY Comic Con, I was shocked to see something that looked eerily similar to the classic title so near and dear to my heart.
While we got our hands on a ton of great co-op games, I wanted to point out a few other standout titles you guys may enjoy. First up is the recently announced Battlefield: 1943. The game is a remake, or re-imaging of sorts of the original Battlefield: 1942 for the PC.
We start our NY Comic Con 2009 coverage with a handful of shots from the show floor. We've got some great pictures of the entire thing. What impressed me most was the sheer size of the show. From a square footage perspective, this even topped last years PAX. The people that were there were all upbeat and fun, with plenty of cos players wondering around posing for pictures.
