I just got back from London where on Sunday I visited ExCeL for the London Comic Movie Media EXPO . It was great fun, a lot of Cosplay, and entertainment. I was there to meet an actress from Battlestar Galactica. I did not manage to find time to play any pre-releases that were at the show although they looked fun if you can stand playing a game with so much entertainment all around you. I decided to mingle, and took loads of pictures. Here is one of my posing next to a Life size replica of a WartHog. Its even made me want a console again.

I've been busy away from Gamespot the last week. Just on IMVU creating. Looking at PSP UMDs in the United Kingdom. Working and getting ready for a new year of study. I've just seen the advert on gamespot for Unchartered 2. Looks hot ! But suddenly I get this idea in my head about a gameplay which I haven't played so far.

The game

Needs a good storyline like Unchartered 2. With a story that reads like a book or movie. Now the catch is when you die you continue where you left of dead, perhaps at the begining of the stage. Now where this game idea could come in is that the death is recorded and because it is a storyline this makes a difference. The difference in my game idea is that once you die the death is recorded onto your hard drive and later in the game you are given choices (via some magic, or cyber ware, or some simular essence in the games background) that lets you replay your death in the hope that you can not die. If you avert your previous death then the storyline is changed in your favour. This could all be fit into the storyline via some "cyber future time travelling" system, somewhat like Minority Report. This could really be used in an engine and used in several games. Well thats my 10 cents for today.

The PSP using comic books isn't genius but Marvel have decided to expand their Digital Comics to be available on the PSP Playstation store across the world.

"Digital Comics will be launching on the UK, US, Irish, Australian, New Zealand and South African PlayStation® Stores this December, with other PAL territories to follow, and with more and more comics and graphic novels arriving every month. To find out more, visit www.eu.playstation.com. "

Personally my opinion is that whilst its nice to see comics on my PSP. I don't think downloading from the Playstation store is going to make the experience fun. UK Playstation store has recently failed to bring out a few games released in the USA, so why would I decide to forgive them and buy anything from them? I would much rather support my local comic store scene and purchase something which embodies what a comic is rather than just a digital comic thats pointless.

If marvel, tokyopop, darkhorse, image and DC want to release comics for our PSP then they should have done this last year ! Way too late in my opinion !
