The show for me was a let down, last year MS had much better show than what they've shown today.
6 games, 4(3 - Fable isn't) exclusives. All of them known before E3, apart from that Crytek game, which shown only a teaser that doesn't tell us anything. All blockbusters were good looking, Reach was the best for me, followed by tied second place by Gears and MGS:Rising. Fable 3 had a pretty bad trailer imo, but I'll gladly play that game on my PC. Can't be bothered by another milked Call of Duty.
Than it came... casual shovelware. While some of the stuff looked cool, it wasn't for us gamers. Apart from tilting lens on Natal, there wasn't anything that would separate it from PS Eye Toy. And the whole conference was really US centric, most of the stuff they've shown won't be available at Europe. Forza demonstration was laughing stock, that car demo where you could look inside of it was so fake it hurted. The same thing you can see on any website, go explore audi's site and they have the same, even better. And Natal implementation into serious racing game = dodge slower cars kind of minigame? Really?
The whole conference was focused on casuals and casuals only, 2 blockbuster exclusives that were known long before, 3 multiplats that were known long before (atleast we've seen some footage from MGS) and one teaser from console virgins at Crytek.
It felt like watching 2008's Nintendo's press conference. 10 minutes in and Xbox slim out were the only attention worthy parts of it.
5/10 - from a gamers point of view, my mum might see it differently
