New York Comic Con Has Games, Too!
Well, sure, the New York Comic Con is going to have comics. And comics-related merchandise, celebrities, and panels. The name of the event is kind of a dead giveaway. But you might not realize how much videogame content will be provided at the event, which is being held this year from April 18-20 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.
Companies like Square-Enix, Namco-Bandai and Konami will have booths showing off their latest wares all weekend and videogame panels will be held all day Sunday. Some will present new games like Gears of War 2, Iron Man and Age of Conan Online. Others will discuss topics like "Getting A Job at a Videogame Company" or "Writing for Videogames" or "Starting a Videogame Company." Hm. Perhaps I should attend the one called "Videogame Journalism."
I also enjoy that the Activision booth will be hosting a Spider-Man voiceover contest throughout the con inviting people to try for a part in the next Spidey game. "The best screams and angry cabbies will make it into the game!" Neat!
