Let the Games Begin:
The video game industry as started to realize the potential for Comic-Con. Developers have started offering game trailers and show panels. We are expecting to get a look at several PSP and PS3 games. SCEA will demonstrate SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Tactical Strike and The Eye of Judgment. And Foundation 9 Entertainment will be there with Sonic Rivals 2 for PSP.

Foundation 9 Entertainment will also demonstrate Godzilla Unleashed for the Wii, as well as The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night and WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 for the DS.

Microsoft will also show off some of its upcoming games. And as an added bonus, it has teamed up with Warner Brothers to put game, movie and television trailers, celebrity interviews and DC comic themes on Xbox Live Marketplace. The first two themes will be Superman and 300. They'll hit the Marketplace on Thursday. It also looks like Supernatural, Superman Doomsday, The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Babylon 5 will all be hitting the Marketplace as new paid content.

PC Gamer and Maximum PC will be holding hourly Unreal Tournament 3 tournaments, marking the first time that the upcoming Midway game will be playable to the public.
