| Vaza said: How can anyone say that that was a dud conference? They showed a ton of core games! - Left 4 Dead 2 (Never expected this so soon!) - CrackDown 2 - Halo ODST (Graphics seemed well improved with the normal great Halo gameplay) - Halo: Reach (Yes! A NEW Halo!) - Alan Wake (Gameplay looked very cool, creepy style) - Forza 3 (WOW, graphics looked better than GT5) - Splinter Cell Conviction (Really impressed by the game, looks very cinematic and fun) - Metal Gear Solid Rising - Modern Warfare 2 with exclusive DLC (Amazing, can't wait!) And they also left out one of their big guns - Mass Effect 2. AND announced a lot for the new dashboard update: Last FM, Facebook, Twitter, Zune Marketplace and Sky TV. And thats not including the motion camera stuff, which even without it in the conference, the show was great! |
Because most of the games were not interesting, at least not as shown, and NATAL looked lame, and who cares about facebook and twitter, I give that conference a 6/10 at most
