Shoehorning so much Kinect into every title possible...Microsoft has learned well from Nintendo.

I was a bit more professional in my twitter updates, but here I can be a bit scathing.

Microsoft seems more intent on competing with LeapFrog for the 3-5 market than they are facing off against Nintendo and Sony. This was a PRIME time for MS to push how secure XBox Live is compared to competition, for them to push some serious additions to online content, and for MS to get some really strong showcases for exclusive or original titles. Instead, we get YouTube and Disneyland Adventures. The gunsmith options in Ghost Recon actually had me interested...if only for future RPG applications since I'm not the largest fan of shooters. The voice control seems stiff and simply tacked on in the cheapest way possible. It improves 10 fold if the character repeats what you say. Seems disjointed otherwise.

MS's biggest surprise was Kasson Crooker's weight loss. Now thats just sad. But good for him!

C- for Halo 4's short ass trailer alone. Otherwise a generous D+.

You guys are mean as hell with M$ this year. Where's the excite!? As someone who doesnt play brobox, I'm actually liking that gears 3.

What sucks is that all of these Kinect games are Rail games....

I already commented earlier but, now that it's over, I'd definitely give them an A. I enjoyed almost everything they showed and, whether or not I personally would play it, I could see a market for it out there. I was hyped up by almost everything and look forward to learning more. And to me, that's the goal of the whole thing.

Why didn't you grade Konami?

Konami had a conference?! All I saw was that prerecorded stuff.

[shidobu]

Ghost Recon was the only game to give me a shit eating grin.
Laras moans gave me a boner tho.
So C+ for the boner. Thx microsoft

If MS went out ripping Sony and touting security, they put themselves at risk. And after seeing Sony lose billions, I doubt they wanted to risk it, even if they felt it was secure.

[Kurokikaze]

lmao @ shield slamming that wooly mammoth.

"WHAT!?"

I agree with Tyche. Saying that your shit is secure and laughing at Sony would make hackers respond with: "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED"

[Salodin]

Those breathe attacks, are those Kinect related?

[Kyo]

At least 300 hours in Skyrim? Jesus titty fucking christ I am so hype.

[Fallyn]

[Correction]

The dragon shout system in Skyrim is pretty sexy

[Salodin]

Never played an Elder Scrolls, but it looks like they are giving me no choice here...
