Comic-Con Wrap-Up

With each passing year, Comic-Con just seems to get bigger and bigger, and just when you think it has extended the bounds of its rotundity, the conference spills further into San Diego's mighty Gaslamp district. And with that, video games also expand their foothold into the show, becoming a more prominent fixture of the blaring sights and sounds on the show floor and beyond. Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mass Effect 3, and Star Wars: The Old Republic were but a few of the games that had something to offer.
