We weren’t lucky enough to have attended Comic-Con this year, but we did get a full report from both our friends who were there and the Internet who was buzzing about the event all weekend. Really, though, the weekend, as reported by the Internet, tends to be about the costumes and, well, the girls. Oh, and how can we forget the trailers, trailers, trailers, and more trailers! Still, there is plenty of authenticity at the event, despite the commercial onslaught.
Having said that, since we didn’t attend this year, here are some of the best Comic-Con posts from the weekend.
The folks over at 2K Sports have decided that NBA legends Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson will grace the cover of their upcoming ‘NBA2K12′ video game.
The game company announced on Thursday that NBA Hall of Famers Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Jordan will be featured in three separate covers on the front of “NBA 2K12,” the latest installment of the best-selling basketball video game franchise.
Last year, Jordan was the cover athlete for 2K’s NBA game, which sold more than 5 million units. Jordan also worked closely with the game’s developers for last year’s game, providing his input on details such as a player’s shot technique.
We suppose this has nothing to do with the fact that the league is currently locked out. Especially since these covers are considered long in advance.
The game is expected to go on sale October 4 of this year, and there are still no specific details as to what kind of role Jordan, Bird and Magic will play in the game itself.
Check out the three covers, after the jump…
Serena Williams definitely turned up the sexy in an ad for a new Wii game called Top Spin 4. But apparently she turned it up just a tad too much, as 2K Sports put the kibosh on her sexy commercial. But lucky for you, we’re not as prudish. Check out Serena’s too hot for TV ad after the jump.

What better way to capture the feeling of stalking solo through the inhuman wilderness armed with only a knife and your enervated Neanderthal instincts than through an electronic game that you play on your television, while sitting down in a chair made at a factory, eating food also made at a factory? There is none; hence, Man vs. Wild, coming to an XBox 360 near you. And it’s not just Bear Gryllis’s trials you can experience in this ultra-realistic way:
The Deadliest Catch video game is expected to hit shelves for Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS by spring 2010. The Man v. Wild video game will be available on those systems, as well as X-Box 360, but isn’t expected until toward the end of 2011.
Deadliest Catch utilizes the full extent of the Nintendo Wii’s unique full-body motion control system, I’m sure. Cast the Wii Remote in a “crab net-throwing motion” to throw the crab net, and then maneuver it in a “retrieving a crab net from the water motion” to retrieve the crab net from the water. You win the game by catching enough crabs to quit your job and move away from Alaska. My favorite part of this story:
