4.5/10

Pros

Halo 4 ( I don't even like halo, but I liked what I saw )
Tomb Raider ( I know it looks like uncharted but it looks great )
South Park


Cons

Everything else. Especially :
Splinter Cell : Not really a splinter cell
Gears of war : Yeah, a teaser, big deal. Nothing else shown, no info, and the teaser was shown for like 1/2 minute. No more info.
Forza : Same as above. A bit better though.
Usher's dancing almost takes more time than all of the core exclusive titles combined.
Call of Duty ending : They must be crazy to end the conference with a multiplat.

Poor.

No Rare games.

I had to change my pants twice during that show. The Xbox glass looks awesome. This is the type of integration I have been waiting for. Since Nintendo and MS are doing similar things in this field, the competition is going to create some good innovation. I'm very excited.



7.5/10

What I enjoyed:

Halo 4 demo(looked amazing)
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Gears of War: Judgement
Forza Horizon
Smart Glass
IE9
Tomb Raider
Matter
Fable: The Journey
LocoCycle(wish they showed more, but made by twisted pixel, so should be good)
Resident Evil 6
South Park
Acend: New Gods( looked like a XBLA title, hopefully doesn't turn out like bloodforge)

Didn't care for:
Kinect Trainer
Cod: BO2
Madden and Fifa 13
wreeckateer(didn't look like a bad game, but terrible presentation)
DC3(once again, not a bad game, but a simple trailer would have worked)

Imo it was better than than the last two years. Less focus on casual kinect games and more "hardcore" games, even if they are multiplat. I was disappointed not to see Alan Wake 2(considering the tease) and Ryse gameplay. Also ending the show with Cod was really underwhelming.

I guess MS is saving their really big guns for E3 2013.

And if you had taken off your fanboy glasses and actually watched the thing, you would actually have noticed how the presenter stumbled at that very point. Contrary to the "you are the controler" Kinect credo he was hailing seconds before, he suddenly noticed how he had to use a cursor to run this glassy thing. For a split second I thought he is going to faint but then he quickly stumbled on, hoping noone would see the very contradiction he was hailing as the next best thing...



D 4/10

I know that they were supposed to be short demo, but damn did it fell like all the games were so linear. Spent to much time on Sports. Loved how the crowd applauded the use of Spanish with Kinect and then gave 2 craps about Univision, while giving a huge cheer for Nickelodean. I loved how Resident Evil and Splinter Cell are now full on action games. Thank god for Matt, Trey, and Usher's shirt. I need those memes people.



don't waste time

3DS FC 4914-3563-4510

8/10 better than last year.

+ Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider, COD:BO2 ,Halo 4 and 3 exclusives !!
- The rest ,  well the other things are not for me

No surprises, nothing I found remotely interesting. Overall I came away feeling like I'd seen it all before. Who didn't expect the emphasis on Kinect, bolstered by sequels, sequels and more sequels?
