Microsoft's E3 Conference.

Overall a good conference, could have been better. While there weren't any big surprises or announcements (thank you internets.), Microsoft held a solid conference. Here are my highlights of the show: 1) The obvious highlight of the day was Natal with its motion-stuff-ness. While the "games" they showed looked cool, I don't know if it'll sell well.

Overall a good conference, could have been better. While there weren't any big surprises or announcements (thank you internets.), Microsoft held a solid conference. Here are my highlights of the show:

1) The obvious highlight of the day was Natal with its motion-stuff-ness. While the "games" they showed looked cool, I don't know if it'll sell well. The endorsement of Spielberg was a surprise
2) The MGS Rising announcement was surprising, and thought it was a pleasant surprise I wanted a direct port of MGS4. 
3) The Crackdown 2 trailer looked good and might be worth getting (without another multiplayer beta key). 
4) Funny when Shadow Complex started to bug and Cliff B quickly stopped the demo
5) Forza 3 looked like a buffed up version of Forza 2. I like the new logo.
6) L4D2 seems TOO SOON. I thought Value just started updating L4D and then Wa-Bam!
7) The announcement of Halo: Reach was great (although I caught wind of the leak) and the multiplayer beta key sold me on Halo 3: ODST (was going to get it anyways, huge Halo fan)
8) "Milo" was creepy.
9) The facebook/last.fm/Twitter incorporation seems like a nice idea, might reregister on last.fm
