I’m a few months late with this update, and promise my one reader that it won’t happen again! In order to make sure this blog remains the one-stop-shop for my written work, here is the coverage I did for this year’s San Diego ComicCon.

While a haven for geeks, ComicCon as the name suggests doesn’t typically cater to gamers as much as some of the other conventions. Of course, it is hard to talk entertainment without mentioning some games, and as such, a few of the big boys had MMO games on display at this year’s convention in San Diego.

Sony Online Entertainment had a sizeable floor display showcasing DC Universe and some of the latest content patches released. Likewise, NCSoft was present with their City of Heroes Freedom, the new free-to-play version, and a 30-minute playable demo for the upcoming Guild Wars 2. This is ComicCon though, so there really was little interest in these games, and our IGN press pass was not needed to try out these demos. The only MMO that seemed to really gather the crowds was Star Wars: The Old Republic. So let’s work our way backwards and start with our 20-minute hands-on with this highly anticipated release!

Head on over to IGN’s Vault for the entire article: MMOs Amongst the ComicCon

Odds are that you are already hearing the buzz in the media regarding E3 2011 and all the big video game announcements that are no doubt forthcoming. Monday morning will begin with big press conferences from industry big dogs and Sprawl’s Scrawl will be there representing IGN Entertainment’s Vault Network division, which focuses exclusively on MMOs and RPGs.

Stay tuned to the otherwise slow moving Vault Hub, located at http://vault.ign.com, or just bookmark this site for the updates each evening after we wander around the show floor interviewing all of the MMO and RPG players. This is pretty much the big main event for the entire industry cram packed into a few days of non-stop entertainment.
