Ubisoft Community Developers take us into another trip over to San Diego, where the Comic-Con has its eyes set on Assassin's Creed II (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). If you loved the first but had a few bones to pick with it, then this vid might just have a few bits of good news for you.

With the announcement of the God of War novel and comics, plus the Prince of Persia comic anthology, one may find that novels and comic books seem to be all the rage lately. Electronic Arts and Dark Horse Comics are jumping on that money train as the two announce that they will be working on the Mass Effect comic series based on the sci-fi video game.

After warning gamers that their upcoming action title, Saboteur, might not make it to retail shelves this year, Pandemic Studios has come through and officially announced that it will be released this year after all. Details after the jump.

It's official. Wheelman developer Midway Newcastle has been shut down following failed efforts to find a buyer before the end of the notification time required by UK law. The announcement was made at the studio by Midway CEO Matt Booty in front of the 80 or so people who had to be let go.

If you're going to be in the San Diego area on the 23rd, you may want to stop by the San Diego Comic Con and score some points in Valve's zombie apocalypse simulator. Who knows, it might come in handy when the dead really start walking the earth.

In order to bring more life to games such as Top Spin 3, Unreal Tournament 3, Midnight Club Los Angeles and Grand Theft Auto IV, the respective game developers tapped ImageMetrics to craft the games' facial animation.

A video is also included to show of the things brought to life by ImageMetrics' technology. Check it out after the jump!

A two-month survey conducted by the National Institute on Media and Family (NIMF) involving 60 retailers in the U.S. show that 46% of retailers sell M-rated video games to teens. The East County Youth Coalition and other youth groups are now requesting retailers to provide employees with proper training and separate M-rated titles from other games.

Details for the video game of the hit TV series "Lost" have finally arrived from Ubisoft after a year of absolutely zip - except for a reassurance that it's indeed coming.

You play a survivor of Oceanic Air flight 815 to battle your past demons and explore the mysteries of the island where your plane crashed. You will be interacting with the cast of Lost: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and the rest of the crew. Abound with puzzles and enemies, the island will throw whatever it can at you.

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, executive producers of "Lost," sound very satisfied with the output:

The sense of adventure and suspense that we strive for in the show is also captured in the Lost video game. Ubisoft has done a fantastic job and come up with a game that is visually amazing and imaginative both on its own and as an extension of the world of the show.

The game will be released early next year for the Xbox 360, the PS3, and the PC. And now here's the debut trailer from GameTrailers:

Codemasters seems to be pulling out all the stops as it continues to promote its upcoming action/horror first-person shooter, Clive Barker's Jericho (Games for Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360).

The company has just announced that acclaimed horror novelist and filmmaker Clive Barker will be on hand at this year's San Diego Comic Con as part of the game's public premiere. Codemasters will also host two of Barker's autograph signing sessions, from 10:00 - 11:30 AM and from 3:30 - 5:00 PM, on July 28 at booth #4329.

The San Diego Comic Con 2007 event will also be the first time that the game will be available for play by gamers and other con attendees. Those interested should drop by booth #4329 in the main exhibit hall from July 26 until July 29.

Capcom's appearance at Comic-con 2007 in San Diego should prove to be a much bigger event than what this giant company did at E3. In a booth that features open gaming stations, attendees will be able to get their hands on Zack & Wiki, Harvey Birdman, Mega Man Star Force and Mega Man ZX Advent, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Rocketmen and Moto GP. An Ace Attorney game will also be playable, but we're not certain which iteration of Phoenix Wright it'll be.

The most noteworthy of all, of course, are playable demos of Devil May Cry 4 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. That's right, E3 this year never had that much of a privilege to serve the hottest games coming under Capcom's belt.

As if gamers attending Comic-con weren't lucky enough, the Capcom store will also feature plenty of games at discount prices and merchandise up for grabs. Here are some that you can expect to find:

• a new Street Fighter shirt produced exclusively for Comicon
• Udon’s rare hardcover Art of Capcom book
• exclusive Comicon Japanese merchandise

Comic-con will open its doors come July 25, and will last 'til the 29th, so don't forget to head over Capcom's booth 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. We've seen the list of events, and we're sure fans will love it. For now, check out these shots. You can also see the boxing ring arena above.
