Except when it is! And especially when we get some BFBC2: Vietnam footage via the international eye of GameTrailers, a sinister eye which is currently floating silently at the shoulders of NYCC attendees and beaming back these pictures. That's the New York Comic Convention, of course. They don't just talk comics these days, no sir. And bless their juxtapositions of words and pictures, our undead…

[NYCC is getting ever more distant, so this is probably the last of the round-ups of games I played swiftly there. Unless I do a round-up post of the things I played hyper-quick or just watched. And... go!]This is a Comicon. Clearly, I couldn't help but play these two. With the two competitors for the MMO Superhero crown within twenty or so metres of one…

[When I was at NYCC, I found some time to have a quick crack at the games on the floor. Quick. As in, 10-15 minutes tops. I'm writing up some of them, before it all fades, fades away.]A bit of an odd couple this pair, but - were I forced to conjure a link - I'd pair them as tangential twins of modern development harking…

[When I was at NYCC, I found some time to have a quick crack at a load of games on the floor. Quick cracks. I'm going to write up the ones that stick in the memory.]If anyone on the development team is hanging around the Ubisoft booth, you're glad that they're not actually standing beside me and watching. It's about 10 minutes before the doors…

[I was at New York Comic Con last week. Between doing what I do at comic cons (i.e. drink), I found some time to have a quick crack at a load of games on the floor. Quick cracks. I'm going to write up the ones that stick in the memory.]A kid in his early/mid teens – 14 tops – is watching me play for all…
Following on from this morning's demonstration of Star Trek Online's character creator, there's finally more footage of Champions Online. Since Kieron brought you the definitive coverage of the game so far last July, it's been pretty quiet. However, a very brief glimpse appeared at New York Comic Con, and it's below.
Could there be a more appropriate game to show at NYCC? These DC Universe developer walkthroughs contain a substantial mass of in-game material, including some villains doing their evil unpleasantness. Also some PvP in which a dude gets frozen into a block of ice and then bounced off a wall.I'm quitely optimistic about this one - it doesn't look particularly startling, but I'm hoping it…
Prototype is back on course for release in June, and has had a big showing at NYCC. It's perhaps a little less impressive than it was when we saw it a year ago, but hopefully all that extra time will pay off. The three-way biologic war on the streets of NYC still looks ludicrously violent. I think Gillen is going to unload some thoughts on…
The New York Comic Convention (which is being attended by our own man-of-at-least-two-talents, Kieron Gillen) is in full swing, and this year it is being attended by many videogame companies. This means a minor deluge of videos from various sources, some of which I'll post up here. First up: Battlefield 1943, with a developer narrating. Now isn't this interesting: signs of that Battlefield Heroes parallel…
