The gaming release schedule is still in Summer Mode, but events season starts to pick up this week. We’ll be holding a media event in New York this week, so expect some updated previews to come from that. San Diego Comic-Con kicks of Wednesday night; we’ll have a full rundown of PlayStation panels here on the Blog tomorrow, as well as a preview of the booth. Don’t worry if you won’t be down in San Diego – we’ll be filming the panels and bringing highlights to you.
