This year's New York Comic Con proved what gamers have known for a long time - video games are a force to be reckoned with.
As the Convention has grown over the last three years, so has the gaming presence. Publishers realize that they can reach their key demographics, at least when that target audience takes a break from sifting through boxes of old comics.
Many game companies were at the Con. There were booths promoting upcoming titles, like "Iron Man," "Metal Gear Online," and even "Space Chimps."
Numerous toy companies showcased their game figure lines for everything from "Kingdom Hearts" to the upcoming "Prototype."
Sunday boasted a day's worth of video game panels that offered insight into "Gears of War 2," as well as the games industry itself.
There were even a very tiny handful of vendors offering games for sale. Basically, there was a little bit of something for everybody.
By no means is Comic Con the next E3, but it was very refreshing to see comics and games mingle for a New York crowd.
Hit the jump for many, many more pics from the floor.
