TrackbackComic-Con isn’t just for comics anymore, this much we know. But over the past couple of years, video games have been taking a more prominent role on the show floor. With E3 just past and video game companies prepping for a big push into the second half of the year, expect this year to be no different.
Let’s take a look at some of the video game companies we might expect to see at this year’s con.

I’m not a Comic-Con shopper. Outside of a few shirts and posters I don’t go around the con hunting for exclusives and collectibles. Still, I love free stuff and getting to try out video games and the chance to get my picture taken with awesome stuff makes Preview Night a must for me. So this year I braved the exhibit hall for a full hour and fought babies, wheelchairs, and annoying booth employees to bring you my thoughts.

The promotional Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles shirts Capcom printed up for Comic-Con have their own dark side: specifically, the inside. The shirts look nice enough when worn normally: a “let your darkside out” slogan adorns the front amid zombie silhouettes, and the game’s logo occupies the back.
But the inside of each shirt has a special graphic printed upside-down, so that when you flip the shirt over your head, you become a zombie. This is the most amazing advance in swag technology we’ve seen in years. If you want one (and you do, because wow), you’ll have to visit Capcom’s specialDarkside Chronicles demo area at Comic-Con and try out the co-op mode.
This is defiantly my choice for shirt of the con! What do you think?
