comic-con-2010 posts

The official San Diego Comic-Con web site has been updated once again, this time with the schedule of panels for Saturday, July 24. Saturday is usually the busiest day in terms of attendance for the sold out pop-culture event and there's lots of game-related programing slated for that day.

One very interesting panel for that Saturday will apparently reveal for the first time a new game in the Spore franchise. According to the schedule the panel will feature members of Eleclronic Arts' Maxis development studio. They will reveal "a brand new, Sci-Fi Action-RPG based on the DNA of Spore."

Other game-based panels scheduled for that day include Guild Wars 2, Red Faction Armageddon, and non-PC games like God of War, Epic Mickey and more.

Even with this crappy economy, the tickets for the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con have all been sold out for months. If you are lucky enough to get a ticket you will be able to have a change to purchase some exclusive comics, toys and other items at the July show.

Many action figure companies have exclusive products at Comic-Con and this week Toy News International reports that one of them, NECA, has revealed that their Comic-Con exclusives will include an Eleanor (with Saved Little Sister) figure from their BioShock 2 line up. This is likely just the first of what will be many game-oriented Comic-Con exclusives for 2010.
