(continued from previous page) ...kid that seemed to be 6 or 7 was playing the game and having fun with no problems. The game resembles movies from Pixar animations with crisp and clean graphics and effects. The story is entertaining, and the game just like past versions, is extremely fun to play for all ages. Overall, Ratchet & Clank was the most impressive game at the entire Sony booth, and you can read our hands on from E3 right here.

The one thing that kept many fans in the dark is why Sony didn’t provide certain games such as Warhawk and why the PSP kiosks weren't using the new PSP slimline. Sony finished with SingStar, which was rivaling the Wii’s DDR located just across the walkway, gathering a tremendous crowd of people. Overall Sony did a extremely good job at this year's Comic Con and gamers were impressed with what they saw.

Sony’s booth wasn’t the only booth that was showing off PlayStation though, as several other booths including Lucas Arts and Epic were showing off games on PlayStation format too.

In the Lucas Arts booth was several PSP kiosks that were demonstrating the up coming Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron that will be provided in the Star Wars PSP bundle coming in September. It visually looked like a PS2 game but the controls were changed from the previous versions which made things a bit harder to handle. On the other side of the booth, Lucas Arts had Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Xbox 360 but not in playable form. When asked if the game will be available for the PS3 the PR replied “Yes but will not be as clean as the version you see there” which may have been a personal opinion but who really knows. The game's visuals didn’t seem much different from what has already been seen in previous demostrations.

All in the same general area were Konami, Capcom, and THQ. The booths were not huge at the event but did have some decent games to show off. Konami had both Dance Dance Revolution games coming out later this year in playable form, Hellboy 2, several card games, and the debut of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles and Silent Hill Origins for the PSP. In THQ’s booth, there was WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 and a few TV based games. In the Capcom booth, however, there were some more interesting games including Devil May Cry 4 in playable form and Resident Evil Extinction for Wii. However, the booth had PR guys filtering the crowd where only one person at a time could play either game making it nearly impossible to get a hands on experience without waiting ages in line. The Capcom booth had a hand full of games to show off for all systems, including the PS2.. Roaming characters, such as Megaman, were provided by Capcom as well, attracting an even larger crowd.

Marvel's booth also had a surprise inside with the playable demo of the upcoming Ironman game which will be based off the blockbuster movie coming in 2008. The game showed off some amazing visuals while running off the Xbox 360. The two PRs demostrating the game wouldn't let anyone play but overall the it looked fun and creative. Ironman could easily be the best super hero game to date, if only it doesn't follow the same path as Spider-Man.

Finally to finish up the hands on experience was the big grand finale: Epic's showcase. Instead of having one unified booth, Epic hung posters all around the event advertising games, such as Gears of War, and showcased several games at the Alienware booth. The Alienware booth had posters of Unreal Tournament set up but no sight of the game at first glance. It was when we stuck around the booth for a while that we found out UT3 was actually hidden. At the end of every hour Epic and Alienware hosted a UT3 tournament which is the first time the public layed eyes on a playable version of the game.

The game was running off top notch Alienware computers with all the latest hardware and upgrades but when the PR stated the game will be available for PS3 as well, we couldn’t help but ask about ... (continued on next page)
