A new face in the world of Comic Book Conventions is the Phoenix Comicon!  Hailed as ‘the signature pop culture event of the Southwest’, this event launched in 2002 and has been going strong since.  Rising attendance each year and a roster of guests that included the world famous Todd McFarlane and Star Trek stars Brent Spiner, Wil Weaton and Marina Sirtis equals plenty of hype and excitement.  The Phoenix Comicon presented a full weekend of scheduled guests and programming for hobbyists interested in gaming, anime, film and TV.  Our photographer Mike from www.BlankLogo.com attended the event and brought back some awesome photos to share below!

Guitar Hero: Metallica tracks released – how do they stack up?

Posted on January 25th, 2009 in News & Events by cotv

We at camp COIN-OP TV are anxiously awaiting the chance to get our hands on Guitar Hero: Metallica.  This week, our friends over at Joystiq released the full set list not only of Metallica songs but from other artists that will be included in the game as well.  So in addition to listing the Metallica songlist – we decided to compile them by order of ‘greatness’.  With so many awesome Metallica songs in their library it was tough coming up with the top five picks but easy to drop some of the songs to the bottom of the list!  We look forward to hearing your opinions on the list!

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) reactions and photos

Posted on January 16th, 2009 in News & Events by admin

Hailey Bright and Laura Wichinsky of COIN-OP TV attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week and returned with reactions and photographs!  Hailey witnessed many new and exciting gadgets on the show floor and said that even though attendance was down from last year that there was still plenty of people there and things to see.

Products that stood out included Sling Media’s SLINGBOX, a technology that allows streaming video content to multiple devices like a TV and/or Laptop, a Vaio Laptop computer that was small enough to fit into her purse and a 3D home system from Panasonic with practical effects that impressed rather then distracted.  See video of Hailey Bright talking about CES in episode 249 of COIN-OP TV LIVE.  Thanks to Robert Workman (GameDaily.com) and Stormy (ASTRO Gaming) for the photos!
