This past weekend was the annual Toronto Fan Expo featuring a number of panels and events dedicated to Sci-Fi, horror and comic books. There were a number of celebrity panels featuring Dean Stockwell, James Marsters, Summer Glau, Stan Lee, Tahmoh Penikett and a whole pile more.

I’ll have more to say on the upcoming podcast, but in the meantime here are some of the photos that I snapped over the course of the three day conference. More photos and video to come.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2

LucasArts has released a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 a little earlybefore next week’s E3 conference . Starkiller is back as Vader’s apprentice but it looks like they’re on opposing ends this time. The trailer doesn’t show any actual game-play but it does give some hints as to what direction the story is headed. It’s currently scheduled to be released October 26, 2010.

With Comic-Con in full swing this weekend, we though we’d take a look at some of the many trailers being promoted at the con.

The Prisoner

AMC is premiering this new six part mini-series this fall which is a remake of a British show from the sixties. AMC has posted a nine minute (!) trailer to promote the show. It looks like they’ve secured quite the cast with Jim Caviezel and Sir Ian McKellen starring. You can pop over to AMC’s site to see even more videos for the show.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

Oh sweet baby Jeebus yes please!!!!! Daddy likey!!!!! I loved the first No More Heroes and thought it was one of the better games to make great use of the Wii’s motion control and one of the more unique games I’ve ever played. I’m certainly interested to see what else they come up with this time around.

Red Steel 2

I haven’t had a chance to try out the first Red Steel but I’ve always wanted to. This time around they look to be making use of the Motion Plus add on. Personally, I think it there was a missed opportunity to get the Star Wars kid in this trailer rather than Mr GQ jackass here.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Having played the hell out of the old KOTOR game for the original Xbox, I’m curious to see where they take the series next. I don’t know if this trailer has anything to do with actual gameplay, but damn does it look good.

Splinter Cell: Conviction

It looks like for the fifth Splinter Cell game, they’re taking things in a bit of a different direction. I was quite a fan of the stealth style of the previous games so personally I hope they don’t stray too far away from that.
