It’s the Dark Knight vs. the crazies in ‘Batman: Arkham Asylum’August 14th, 2008, 9:42 am by Scott Kirchhofer
Fans of Batman and video games will be pleased to hear a new title is on the way. Even better, it’s going to be a dark, gritty, third-person action/stealth game that pits the Caped Crusader against his greatest foes in the ultimate loony bin — Arkham Asylum. Darren Aronofsky to helm ‘RoboCop’ rebootAugust 6th, 2008, 8:29 pm by Scott Kirchhofer
Recently, MGM Studios announced he will be directing a new RoboCop movie. While I have mixed feelings on such a matchup, I think Aronofsky will ditch convention and blow us all away with something completely unexpected. According to Variety, the new RoboCop will still have our favorite gun-toting, law-enforcing, sci-fi hero, but the broader story of merging technology and humanity will be told with a noir tone. RoboCop is expected to hit theaters in 2010. ‘Terminator Salvation’ movie posterAugust 2nd, 2008, 3:51 pm by Scott Kirchhofer Yet another exclusive movie poster given away at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Darth Vader, Yoda bring the pain in ‘Soulcalibur IV’August 1st, 2008, 1:45 pm by Scott Kirchhofer
Soulcalibur has come a long way since its glory days on the Sega Dreamcast in 1998. Back then, the weapons-based fighting game by Namco was a huge hit for the short-lived console and set itself apart from similar games by offering superior controls and gorgeous graphics. Ten years later, Soulcalibur IV raises the bar again with improved visuals, elaborate character-customization options and the long-awaited ability to play against others online. Throw in some Star Wars characters and you’ve just made a fighter’s dream come true. San Diego Comic-Con wrap-upJuly 31st, 2008, 1:32 pm by Scott Kirchhofer

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it did. Saturday was my last day at Comic-Con, and probably the most memorable. What started out as a normal day — seeing fans in costume, getting autographs from famous artists and processing an insane amount of fanboy mania — ended with a bang, otherwise known as The Comic-Con International Masquerade. Fanboy freakout Friday at Comic-ConJuly 25th, 2008, 10:47 pm by Scott Kirchhofer
Friday at the San Diego Comic-Con seemed busier than previous days. The long lines and cramped isles made it tough to get around, but I still managed to see some great panels, successfully hunt down a rare graphic novel and get an autograph from my all-time favorite artist. Sweet! Oh yeah, and a bunch of people wore their costumes, making it the freakiest day of the convention and the most fun. I’ve got pictures!

It was my second day at the San Diego Comic-Con and I think I’m hitting my stride — meaning I spent the whole day going to comic, sci-fi and anime panels, walking the convention floor while buying lots of comics, geeking out with Con-goers about comics, movies and what famous people we’ve seen at the convention; the whole time getting lots of cool, free swag and loving every minute.

He’s been called the Stanley Kubrick of our generation. His movies are artistic, dark and extremely complex. Just watch Requiem for a Dream or The Fountain and you’ll see the genius that is Darren Aronofsky.
What more can I say? My experience at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con was unforgettable. It was fantastic hanging with fans, seeing famous artists, writers and celebrities, and walking the main exhibit floor (that I like to call Wonderland). I can’t wait to go back next year! I hope you enjoyed all my posts.
