Rate Microsofts Conference

[steven787]

(PSWii owner)  I am not pissed nor am I underwhelmed.  I think the potential is great.  I HOPE for the sake of all gaming that they make great stuff for it.

I give them a 8/10.

• Alan Wake looks awesome.
• Spliter Cell looks really good but it's still not my type of game.
• FFXIII is awesome but not exclusive
• I don't care about MGS
• Natal makes me very optimistic about the future of the human race, that and the man-made sun
• New video services, facebook etc.

• Not my style of game too often
• I think Halo is at risk of being over played.  The reason why the core Mario, Zelda, Forza, GT, GTA, etc keep going is because they only come out with a main game every so often.  While ODST looks slightly more innovative, the animation (or lack of) when you climb a ladder is telling of how the game plays.  Two hands on the rocket launcher and he can still climb. Amazing. plll.  But now I am nitpicking.  The visor is cool but other games have done it.  This isn't fair because I've never been a Halo fan and I like very few FPS.
• Waggle reference.
• Very little exclusive stuff for this year.

Most of the games aren't my style but I think the core-gaming press will give the conference a 9 or a 10 - which is perfectly fair the thing was packed full of announcements and gameplay.

MS did a great job and now I am really excited for E3 this year.
