If you're attending San Diego Comic Con this week, make sure to check out what Sega has on offer. They have live demos of both Sonic Boom titles for Wii U and 3DS, and of course hands-on kiosks for Alien: Isolation. Sonic is appropriately at the Archie Comics booth, while you can find the Alien lurking at the Future US booth, in a demo pod shaped like a giant xenomorph egg.
Additionally, Sega will be stationed at the Nerd HQ event just a stone's throw away from Comic Con all throughout the show, so there are plenty of opportunities to check out Sega during the con.
