The booths I was looking for in particular was EA, Activision and THQ.  I first watched as a young kid played as Hulk Hogan, in the upcoming Legends of Wrestlemania (LOW).  THQ has always developed great wrestling games going back to WCW vs. NWO, by far the best controls in any wrestling games hands down.

Rope to the face, will cause a burning sensation

To know they’re working on LOW assured me that the gameplay would be great.  Not so fast though.  After a 20 minute wait, I finally got a chance to play.  Only two characters to choose from I chose Andre the Giant over Hulk Hogan.  Let me first say that the graphics (360) were spectacular and even the crowd was a great noticeable eye catching aspect of the game.  Now the controls on the other hand were not the same as the aforementioned THQ WCW vs. NWO.  There was an attack, a grapple, and I guess a block.  My opponent told me about the block button after our first match, to which I lost but I never got the hang of it after my second lost.  Let’s say I rarely loose twice in a row.  The damn kid pissed me off, so I left, lol.  Great looking game overall!

So day 2 of Comic Con is over and what did I see?  I had hands-on with many of the upcoming games, so check out which games I absolutely loved and which one’s were “meh”.

I began my afternoon meeting up with a couple of the PR and Producers for Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars.  We spoke about the main character, Huang Lee and his relationship to the Triads.  I openly joked with the Producer from RockStar Games, and asked if Huang Lee has any trace back to the Ziabatsu?  I have to admit, he was impressed that I brought up a gang from Grand Theft Auto 2 and we chit chatted more about GTA2 then finally GTA:Chinatown Wars.  Taxi Driver’s Must Die!!!
