James Bond Blood Stone

A new 007 shooter based on the "Goldeneye" film is going to be unveiled by Activision at Comic-Con on July 20. We're speculating the game will be called "GoldenEye 007: Reloaded" after uncovering the purchase of the GoldenEye Reloaded domain name a few weeks ago.

No details surrounding the game have been released, including what systems it will (or won't) be for. Once we find out more on the 007 game from Comic-Con we'll be sure to get you all the news. What do you think the new 007 game will be about, and more importantly, what do you want to see in it?

Morning Hangover: Are You Ready For Comic Con 2011? The Mass Effect movie will be making some sort of appearance at Comic Con 2011 and that makes me pretty excited.

The event shows off the newest sci-fi, fantasy, and horror movies, along with the latest genre television shows, and of course, comic books. Video games are somewhat an afterthought at the big convention, but nevertheless it should still be a pretty awesome show this year. Are you excited for Comic Con and our blowout coverage of it this year?

Mass Effect 3's Weapons Will Be Getting Help From DICE

The Mass Effect movie will be making an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con later this month. BioWare's Casey Hudson and the screenwriter, Mark Protosevich, will speak about the Mass Effect movie during the Legendary Pictures' presentation.

It doesn't sound like the movie is anything more than a script right now but it's concrete enough to be a part of their panel. Could the Mass Effect movie already have a trailer? I'm so excited about this I think I just developed asthma, like this very moment.

Admit it, you're shocked the Mass Effect movie seems to be actually happening, aren't you?

New York Comic Con Show Floor Wrap-Up: The Latest and Greatest

Posted October 11, 2010 - By MonfetteG4

New York Comic Con has now officially come and gone, but G4 was there and on the scene to bring back all the latest news and updates. Sadly, it wasn't exactly a banner year for games at the show, despite a strong developer presence, but there were a few highlights to lead the way:

"The ComicCon’s videogame highlight was likely Rockstar’s surprise unveiling of Undead Nightmare, the zombie-filled downloadable content for Red Dead Redemption. The Manhattan-based company’s zombie-inspired booth had a dozen game kiosks, a hot DJ and two kinds of t-shirts for giveaways. During play, some of those zombies moved with the uncanny speed of The Flash, making you, as John Marston, rush to burn them with a torch or fire at them with a blunderbuss."

Hall H Of Horror: The Comic-Con Attack

In spite of rumors to the contrary that circulated at this year's show, the annual Comic-Con entertainment convention will continue to be held in San Diego for at least the next five years. Comic-Con officials announced Thursday that San Diego had beat out Los Angeles and Anaheim as home to the convention through at least 2015.

"San Diego has been home to Comic-Con for over 40 years and it's an honor to continue hosting this important event, which is now so much a part of the fabric of our community," Mayor Jerry Sanders said.

Posted August 3, 2010 - By Donell Tucker

What do you get when you attach a blade saw to a steel pole while drenching the saw in gasoline and then setting it on fire? I called it "Inferno Pain." That's just one of the ways to defend myself against a herd of zombies, but since I live in the real world, I'll just get my mind ready for Dead Rising 2 to come out and let my creativity spew out all over those hideous zombies.

Wes Phillips, PR manager at Capcom, takes us deeper into Capcom's zombie massacre games Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Find out how creative you can get when combining different objects to make an awesome killing weapon in the video below.
